Story

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now, here's the reason why ........

Excellent Development supports farmers in Africa to gain access to clean water and grow enough food to eat and sell, enabling them to pay their children's school fees and buy other necessities. www.excellentdevelopment.com

Farmers achieve this by organising themselves into self-help groups and improving soil and water conservation and farming techniques.  Soil and water conservation is achieved through the terracing of land, planting of trees and building innovative sand dams that hold between 2-10 million litres of clean water available all year round.

A team from Warrington West Explorer Scouts will be joining Excellent Development and a Community in South East Kenya in August 2010, for 10 days to help complete a sand dam.  We want to raise £6000 towards the material costs involved in constructing the sand dam.  During our stay we will be helping to mix cement, put up a timber frame, load rocks for reinforcement and generally support the Community in their Project.  Please help us to reach our target.
