I am taking part in the Big Walk for Water with CAFOD. My goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day for 40 days, starting from Ash Wednesday (February 17). Your support for CAFOD's Big Walk for Water will mean that we can help people like Abdella.   

Abdella is 23 and he has big dreams. He dreams of starting a small business, starting a family, of having his own home. He dreams of not having to walk for ten hours a day to get water. Abdella lives in Afar, Ethiopia one of the hottest places on earth. He spends most of a day getting water for his family to drink. On the days when he's too tired to walk, his brother goes. He knows that if there was water near his home, his family wouldn't have to worry about getting enough to stay alive. And he could start on the dreams he has for the rest of his life. 

Your gift could help a remote, vulnerable community to establish their own supply of clean, safe water.

Please sponsor me if you can, or join our virtual walk, the more the merrier! (Check government guidelines) Go to www.cafod.org.uk/walk for more info.
