Welcome to Penny Appeal's London Marathon team Justgiving page. Our team of runners will be DIGGING DEEP and taking on the famous 26.2 mile distance on 29 April.
We're asking you to DIG DEEP with us and help us build deep water wells in Africa.
Every day approximately 1,000 children under five die from diseases associated with dirty water; that’s according to the latest UNICEF and World Health Organisation figures.
We want to raise as much money as we can for Penny Appeal’s Dig Deep campaign, which is building deep water wells for vulnerable communities living in The Gambia.
Your donations will help Penny Appeal to Dig Deepand build deep water wells for communities affected by drought and famine.
Each well will transform whole communities, providing enough clean, fresh water to drink, wash, cook, raise livestock and grow crops for life.
It’s an amazing thing to do, and every well built saves more young lives from easily preventable waterborne diseases.
Today, 1.8 billion people in the world still use a source of drinking water that is contaminated by diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
Every well we build will stop children travelling for miles to collect water; it will give girls the freedom to attend school and it will save the lives of both the young and the old.
So please, whatever you do, don’t leave this page without donating what you can to help us build wells, to transform entire communities and save children’s lives.
