Hello and thank you for visiting my just giving page. At the end of the year i will be climbing Everest to support water for Africa. 

Water for Africa

There is a worldwide water crisis with billions of people living in squalor and contending with waterborne diseases that kills millions each year. Without clean water and a basic level of hygiene there can be no sustainable development in health, education or livelihoods. Without clear water people are locked into a cycle of poverty and disease. Currently;

• 884 million lack access to clean water • 2.5 billion lack access to basic sanitation

This water crisis is killing as many as 5000 children a day - the equivalent of 20 airliners filled with children lost everyday to an entirely preventable public health crisis.

It is a crisis driven by inequality and poverty, where the burden falls most heavily on women. It is girls who are denied an education because they are tasked with fetching water or drop out of school in adolescence because of inadequate sanitation facilities. And as adults, women continue to waste hours each day in the search for water and inevitably look after the children that are ill or dying from diarrhoeal diseases.

Thank you so much for you support. You can keep up to date with how i'm preparing including my training videos by following me on facebook or twitter search for Ifty Karim. 

Thanks Again
