How Your Money Could Be Spent
It is important to us to use all donations as efficiently as possible. Your money could be used in many different ways to further our aim of providing clean water and sanitation and hygiene education to rural villages in Zambia:
- £30 could provide hygiene education, improved sanitation and clean water for one person, for life.
- £240 could buy all the cement needed to install a new well.
- £450 could pay for a brand new India Mark II water pump.
- £2,500 could pay for refurbishing a well, bringing a useless pump back into full use. We carry out a full community sanitation and hygiene mobilisation programme and train village pump operators, so they know how to carry out basic maintenance to give a pump a long and useful life.
- £4,500 could transform an entire community, providing an average of 150 people with hygiene education, improved sanitation and clean water, for life.
Our Supporters
As well as trusts and Rotary clubs and people who make donations, we have people who do exciting things to raise money for us. These include:
The Kili Gals are a group of ambitious ladies who are taking on the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro for Village Water. They are in training and will start their ascent in February 2012. Inspired by the challenges women in rural Zambia face in having no other option but to use unsafe and dirty water for their family's needs, the Kili Gals are determined to raise £20,000 to help alleviate the water and sanitation crisis in Zambia. You can sponsor them here: http://www.justgiving.com/KiliGals2012
Jake and Alex Jungmann (with dad Kurt) completed a 10 mile bike ride on Sunday 9th October 2011 around Rutland Water. It was a little windy at times, but they still managed to complete it in 2 hours and 45 minutes which is a fantastic achievement, even the 'problem chain' didn't hinder the ride. In the process they raised over £430 for Village Water.
Phil Sheppard undertook a Fell Run to celebrate his 50th birthday and raised £622.50 including GiftAid.
