In April 2017, we (myself, together with my husband Andrew, and two children Javier and Nerea!) are going to Malawi for a week volunteering in support of The One Foundation's clean water programmes.

We have fully funded the trip ourselves. We're using our time, energy and skills to help repair some of the country's estimated 12,000 broken water pumps. Javier and Nerea will also be contributing to this cause, helping in the local schools by teaching English to the children there and hopefully repairing some of those water pumps themselves ;-).

Without clean water, communities are vulnerable to water-borne diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. Every year an estimated 2 million people die from these illnesses, most of them children under 5 years old.

The project we're supporting fixes faulty water pumps and teaches communities how to maintain and repair them, so they can deal with any future faults themselves and keep water flowing in their villages.

Please donate to support the project - ALL donations will go directly to The One Foundation.

Many thanks,

Marta
