zermatt marathon · 5 July 2014 ·

For almost 40 years we’ve harvested rainwater to support remote communities, originally in India now Ghana & Uganda. Our work improves health, reduces poverty, builds climate change resilience & frees women from water procurement. To date we’ve worked in 2,000+ villages helping 2.3 million people.

Story

Last year when I ran a marathon in Switzerland , it was 27 degrees celsius at the start line and we had a plentiful supply of water to drink and sprinkle on ourselves at each feeding station. As I have been training this year, I was thinking of The Wells for India charity- they help dig wells in rural India where clean water is  a luxury for many and also help with rainwater harvesting, natural resource management, and sanitation. So please help me to help those who do not have ready access to this precious commodity and whose effect can be life-changing.
