I am part of a team of 100 colleagues, trekking 100 km over 5 days in one of the most remote places in the world....Greenland. 

With no access to a shower or toilet during the trek, for a very short period of time I will get first hand experience what it’s like for 1/3 of the worlds population who don’t have a toilet of their own....access to a toilet is surely a basic human right! 

As well as this being a massive personal challenge for me, I am raising money for Water Aid.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.With clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, children are born healthier. They get the chance to go to school and grow up to become adults. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.
