WaterAid is an international not-for-profit, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. Only by tackling these three essentials in ways that last can people change their lives for good.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

We are taking on a 5km challenge packed with obstacles and brainteasers while carrying a symbolic weight. These obstacles are designed to reflect the daily struggles faced by communities in developing countries, where people walk for miles carrying heavy loads just to access clean water.

In this age of billionaires there is no reason for 696,000,000 people (that's 1 person in 10 in the world) to live without clean water near their homes.

This has been organised by Wessex Water to fund raise for Wateraid.

Please look at the Wateraid website to see the good work they are doing across the world, and either consider donating to this page or set up a regular donation on their website.
