I run a travel company that arranges trips to rural parts of India and have seen at first hand the issues people face due to lack of access to safe water. I've known a lot of NGOs in India over the years, some good some poor, and Frank and their Indian partners Samerth and PSI have consistently bowled me over with the effectiveness and the thoughtfulness of their work. I've met so many women and men and children whose lives have been transformed by access to clean, safe water, enabled by Frank.

Covid has had a terrible impact on the poorest people in the world, and Frank's partner Samerth has been doing incredible work in Chhattisgarh and in Kutch in Gujarat. They've been providing rations and hygiene kits to those who cannot work because of lockdowns, are assisting in the establishment of testing and vaccination centres, and in keeping some kind of education going for children who are missing school. Their scope is wide ranging, and they are working ceaselessly. But they need funds. 

Many women in rural areas walk between two and six kms a day to fetch water, I'm committing to running a minimum of two kms a day for a hundred days. Every £12 can help Frank provide access to safe water for life for one person.
