My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Row Zambezi JustGiving page.

All the money you donate will go directly to the Village Water charity which is trying to reduce infant deaths and disease in remote villages in Zambia, by the provision of clean water, modern sanitation and hygiene education.

  • £10 provides hygiene education and clean water  for one person.

  • £40 could buy cement for a rehabilitated well.

  • £100 will cover the travel costs for working with one community programme.

  • £150 provides a week of pump mender training for 2 villagers, ensuring the community's well can be maintained.

  • £200 could buy all the cement needed to install a new well.

  • £300 pays for 3 field workers to carry out a full programme of hygiene and sanitation training in a community.

  • £450 could pay for a brand new India Mark II water pump.

  • £1,500 could pay for refurbishing an installation, bringing a useless pump back into full use. At the same time we carry out a full Village Water community sanitation and hygiene mobilisation programme. (The pumps we refurbish have previously been  provided by organisations no longer working in the area. We always train village pump operators, so they know how to carry out basic maintenance to give a pump a long and useful life.)

  • £2,500 could pay for a complete pump installation plus a sanitation and hygiene program for a village of 250 people.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
