Buy tickets by Donating to our water project in Swaziland!

We need to raise £20,000 that will enable us to buy a water truck and storage tanks to distribute the water from the nearest city centre to the villages in the Lubilini community that covers 47km. We’ll use some of the funds to repair existing water pumps. We’ve also been working with the community to develop the roles and responsibilities for collection and distribution of the water, and maintenance of the truck and the pumps to make sure the project is sustainable.

So, how do we make all this happen and raise the funds? – by throwing a party on a boat of course! In collaboration with DropOut we can have an evening watching the sun go down over the Thames (it’ll be like Café Del Mar) and then getting our rave on to some bouncy sounds from Paul Higgins, Oliver Richardson and DropOut residents StefJam. Instead of asking you for a donation to the cause, we’re asking you to pay for a ticket to a boat party – we hope to raise the funds through ticket sales.

Tickets are only available through this justgiving page and they're £15 a pop - your donation confirmation email is your ticket!

All the money raised will go directly to the Lubulini community, the team will fund their own participation/involvement in the project.

Some 75% of the population are employed in subsistence farming and the country has the lowest documented life expectancy in Africa – on average 32 years through the combined effect of lack of water, land degradation, increased poverty and HIV/AIDS. The government offer free water and fuel in city centres but without the resources to transport them, clean water is not yet a right in Swaziland.

Right now, the community obtains their water from a dirty stream that they have to share with livestock. People in this community average about just a pint of drinking water each day! And that's not even clean!

Furthermore - families in the community can walk up to six miles to get water each day, to access not much more than muddy holes as you can see in the photo.

Lets do our bit by doing what we know best - partying with glowsticks and face-paint!
