We have signed up for the Rickshaw Run 2010 Spring Edition, which involves driving a Tuk Tuk over 3000km from Cochin, in the South West of India to Gangtok in the Himalayas, in only 2 Weeks!
One of the conditions of entry is that we raise at least £1000 for 2 charities that work very hard throughout India. Mercy Corps and Frank Water. This page is dedicated to Frank Water. Here's a little about what they can do with the money you give them. (Click Read More)
FRANK Water Projects funds facilities that use the the world's most effective water filtering process. The facilities are community owned and run, with an emphasis on the project being sustainable well into the future.
FRANK Water Projects has to date funded 32 clean water plants in India, reaching more than 220 thousand people. We plan to fund another 16 projects over the coming months, and these are due to be completed by March 2010.

Each project costs around £7,000 and provides clean, safe drinking water for up to 7,000 people in the village and surrounding communities. That means that for every pound donated, clean, healthy drinking water is provided for one person, for life. Once a project is set up, it is owned, run and maintained by the local community, with support workers on hand to provide advice when needed. Local operators from that specific village are trained to operate and maintain the facility. |
FRANK Water staff make annual visits to the villages and meet our partners to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the projects.
