I am 10 years old and am doing a climb up Mount Snowdon in Wales, to raise awareness (and money) about water problems faced by people (kids) in India who don’t have much (or any) water.

People who don’t have water suffer every day. 200,000 people in India die every year because of no water or unclean water (BBC). Many people or kids in India drink unclean water which is not good for them or nice. Drinking bad water makes them unfit and unhealthy.

Everybody should deserve healthy and clean water, not impure water.

In India…

95 million people don’t have clean water close to their homes (WaterAid India). That’s more than the whole of the UK’s population by about 30 million more.

306.3 million people don’t have a good, clean toilet (WaterAid India). That’s about more than a fifth of India's population.

I am taking on this challenging hike to raise awareness of water issues in India and I need your help. I am going to donate the money raised to WaterAid India, which supports the government in giving clean water and toilets to people.

I am doing the climb on August 4th on the Pyg Trail. It is the 3rd toughest track on the climb and has a number of rocky and steep sections in the first mile and a few sections after. The Pyg track includes some scrambling, which is basically a cross between rock climbing and hiking. The track is 7 miles long.

I will post an update once I have completed the climb.

Thank you for your tremendous support!
