Sand Dams Worldwide supports people living in drylands to build sand dams, and grow enough food to feed and support their families. Sand dams empower communities, putting the future firmly in their own hands. They provide a lifelong supply of clean water, transforming thousands of lives.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In 2000 and 2003 I took part in community service water projects in the Machakos District of Kenya. In July 2009, with a fellow expedition member, I intend to return to the community to take some photos of the water tanks and sand dams to update the donors in the UK. I would like to help continue the work of the self help group by bringing a further £500-£1,000 with me to support the group's current projects.

Excellent Development works with community self-help groups in Kenya, supporting them to improve their water supply, food production, health and incomes by addressing the problems they face in their day-to-day lives.

Currently EDK is the operational partner, with ED UK and ED US providing fundraising and capacity building support.
