We all take things like water and toilet facilities for granted, but not everyone is as blessed as we are.  Imagine being at a school where there may not be enough water for everyone all the time, and the risk of disease from inadequate toilet facilities is high.  I am hoping to raise money to help TASTE meet the needs of one such school.

TASTE is a small charity who support locals in Nigeria to get clean water supplies and sanitation to their communities.

Some of them have had to walk a few miles per day to collect their water, and the support of TASTE enables them to have clean water right on their doorsteps.

I am running the 26.2 miles of the Milton Keynes marathon on Monday May 1st to raise much needed sponsorship to support a new TASTE project.

The Equal Rights Secondary School in Plateau State is a school for the whole community (for both boys and girls, Christian and Muslim), who need a reliable year-round clean water supply and clean, hygienic toilet facilities.  TASTE is funding a project to bring this to them.  My aim is to raise £750 to go towards the cost of latrines for the school (look at the photos to see what they will be like).  One block of twin latrines costs about £750.  It would be great if we could raise this money together for this school.
