<p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Every day in sub-Saharan Africa, people, mainly women and children, walk an average of three miles to collect water for their families. They carry the heavy containers home for cooking, drinking and washing.&nbsp;Sources are often unclean and lead to sickness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">This daily routine means these women and children are unable to attend school or work, continuing the cycle of poverty. When they do fall ill, they are unable to afford the medicines needed to make them better. &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">WaterAid is a charity which works with communities to provide them with safe water and sanitation through sustainable sources and education. On&nbsp;March 22nd, Severn Trent Services colleagues from around the world will be undertaking a three mile walk to raise sponsorship for this worthy cause.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
