Thanks for coming to my page, this is the first step
This is a challenge I have been wanting to do for a while, and this came at the right moment, so I signed up to take part in the Ben Nevis Climb 2019 with Penny Appeal. My aim is to raise as much as I can to build as many wells, noting that each well is £300.
With your help, we can bring clean water to rural communities, giving them safe water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, water for their crops and animals and the chance to break out of the poverty cycle.
Did you know 663 million people don’t have access to safe drinkable water? That’s one in every nine people. According to WHO, five gallons of water is sufficient for very basic drinking, cooking, and hand washing needs in a developing country, but other common tasks that require larger volumes of water such as bathing or laundry are difficult to achieve with only five gallons.
Another statistic, three children die every minute from drinking dirty water. With reliable access to clean water, thousands of lives could be saved each day. Provide clean water by building a well in your name or that of a loved one
Our Prophet said 'The best charity is giving water to drink' and I pray we can all dig deep and donate.
Every little helps, so please donate whatever amount you can to help those who do not have access to this basic life necessity. I hope there is enough here to convince you that we should help to provide clean water to those that are in need.
