Year 9 at Latymer Upper School want to raise enough money to buy and install a Playpump. Thank you for your support.
Recently we rowed the length of Britain in 7 hours on ergometers - please sponsor us to celebrate that achievement.
Did you know that 1 billion people in the world don't have access to clean water? Or that 2 million people die each year as a result of water related diseases?
Women and children walk for on average five hours a day to collect water. They therefore don't have time to go to school/ tend crops. They can't get an education, or learn about HIV and AIDs... and so the cycle continues. The roundabout pumps are called PlayPumps® – fresh clean water is pumped from deep underground into storage tanks, simply by the children playing on the roundabout. It is an incredibly sustainable solution as the ground is tested beforehand to ensure that the water is safe to drink and that there is sufficient water so the pump won't dry up – something that often happens all over Africa.
Your fundraising will benefit thousands of people, entire communities; enabling children to go back to school and adults to tend to crops and look after their families. Thank you for helping us to make a difference
