Marlon Bouman is raising money for Dekamile
“Marlon Bouman's fundraising”

on 18 January 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
At Dekamile (formally Water For Togo) we are helping extremely deprived people get the very basics of life so that they have a chance of helping themselves. We are currently helping a village in remote Togo called Agome-Sevah, raising money to support clean water provision, education and healthcare.

Story

<p>Hello all</p> <p>Many charities undeniably support&nbsp;worthy causes and make valuable contributions to areas of need. However, notably, some of these organisations are fundamentally flawed in their administration; generating donations by resonating with our moral conscience whilst controversally maintaining substantial senior salaries.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Regardless of a charity's achievements, it is important for donators to know that&nbsp;their contributions are&nbsp;going directly to the cause they want to support in a cost-effective way.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dekamile is a small charity in which its founders absorb the oprational costs and expenses, allowing for all donations to contribute &nbsp;directly to the cause.&nbsp;Dekamile is aimed at helping the people in a village called Agome-Sevah in Togo (West Africa). The area lacks the fundamental support for its people to live in the most basic of means and this charity is currently raising funds to build the villagers a Dispensary as well as getting the systems and infrastructure in place to allow for the village to become self-sufficient within 5 years.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am running the Brighton Half Marathon next weekend (20th Feb 2011) so please feel free to support this worthy cause with a donation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Charity website:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dekamile.co.uk/">http://www.dekamile.co.uk/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you</p>
