Walking for water · 18 October 2009

JNF is an apolitical organisation benefiting all races and religions in Israel. It raises money for water projects, reservoirs and water conservation and has recently expanded its scope to run diverse projects for underprivileged people such as a hospital, a riding school for the disabled and a youth village.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

THE ISSUE:

Israel has a constant water deficit. Agricultural, industrial and domestic usage consumes 100 million cubic metres more water than is replaced. The only untapped source that can meet this deficit is the 5 billion cubic metres of rainfall, which either evaporates or flows off unused into the sea. JNF is at the heart of the national programme to capture and store every drop of this rainwater.

THE PLAN

My plan is to walk all the way from the Mediterranean coast to the Sea of Galilee, 50 miles, in searing heat. The money I raise will be used to provide water and irrigation projects that will benefit Israelis regardless of religion/political affiliation/gender/race etc. So please put your hands in your pockets and support this very worthy cause.
