WaterAid is an international non-profit with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity.

Story

In August 2015 a water bug was found in theLancashire water affecting 300000 homes. As a result people were asked to boil their water before drinking. Whilst inconvenient for the 2 weeks it lasted, to be clear people still had water to drink (if boiled), showers, cleaning etc. 

During this period i was at work boiling water for a coffee when I over heard someone saying this "water crisis is a bloody nightmare". I had to interject with "when your children have to walk 20 miles to get a cup of water that the uk wouldn't deem fit to wash in then you can call this a nightmare". 

Since United Utilities have agreed to pay out compensation to the 300000 homes affected. I live alone and couldn't believe it when I got a cheque for £50!

I am asking people to put this issue into perspective and think of the children dying today due to unclean water. I am personally donating the full compensation of £50 to wateraid so it can be used for those people who really need it. Even if all 300000 homes gave just 10% of that we would raise £1.5m. Please take the time to do this good deed today (even if you weren't effected it's a great cause)
