Why
This means children can spend longer at school rather than collecting water, trees can be planted to provide valuable fuel, fruit, medicine and building materials, and families can sell surplus produce, generating income. For more information about WaterRelief and Excellent Development click here. You can sponsor Richard, Sam and Ben and make a huge difference to someone's life. The small scale dams we build cost around £5,000 and provide an average of 1,000 people with a clean, regular water supply.Give someone clean water for £5 or an average family for £30. One dam saves around 200,000 miles of walking per year for subsistance farmers in Africa. Click here to sponsor. |
WaterRelief helps people from rural communities in south east Kenya who have to walk up to 18 miles every day to collect water. By building small scale dams, villages have access to clean water all year round and arid landscapes can be transformed into fertile, farmable land.
