<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am doing the Manchester 10k again on May 15th, to raise money towards the Water for Kids projects in Zambia, which provide safe water, sanitation and health education.</p>
<p>The average life expectancy in Zambia is 42 years almost the lowest for any country in the world and one in eight children die before the age of five. HIV and AIDS is a factor and access to a safe water supply and a latrine, basic human rights, are especially essential for those living with HIV/AIDS. Dirty water can be fatal for those with debilitated immune systems. Yet in rural areas of Zambia only 41% of the population have access to safe drinking water and only 13% have sanitation (23% in urban areas). </p>
<p>Please visit the Water for Kids webiste: <a href="http://www.waterforkids.org">www.waterforkids.org</a> to find out about our latest projects.</p>
