Dirty water can kill. Your gift can save lives this Lent
Without access to clean water, people’s lives and dignity are in constant danger.
Every 20 seconds a child dies from diseases caused by dirty water. Many more miss school to walk miles each day, carrying heavy buckets of water to help their families survive.
Thanks to you, we’ve helped transform the lives of Zimi, her family and community. We’ve repaired their borehole, helping to save lives, improve health and make time for tending crops and education.‘I would like to say thank you for thinking about us. Having clean water to drink is a gift. It makes everything seem possible. Please help other families to get water,' says Zimi.
Your gift can save lives and livelihoods, so please be generous if you can. Thank you.
Our alternative gifts act as two presents in one – something for you to give to friends or relatives, while the real gift changes the life of someone living in poverty.
