1.1 billion people on the planet don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us.
400 million children have no access to safe drinking water.
Last year (2008) we built or refurbished water wells to provide safe drinking water to 15,000 children and their communities in Guludo, Mozambique. This year we would like to do the same again for another 15,000 people in the nearby villages.
This year, we have given grants to two new water projects in Kenya. The Ndalani project will provide safe drinking water for 1,000 children and 10,000 in the nearby community.
The new secondary school we built last year in the Masai Mara, will have a new water well and water points provided for 6,000 people in the surrounding area.
Safe drinking water dramatically changes the quality of life for these communities.
Just £15 can give a person in Africa clean, safe drinking water for 20 years. 100% of your donation will go directly to safe water projects on the ground in Africa.

WATER FILTER PROJECT, HAGAR, CAMBODIA Improving quality of life
At present, only 31 percent of the rural population of Cambodia has access to safe water.Villagers depend largely on unprotected wells, ponds or rivers as their main sources of drinking water, while tap water in the cities is undrinkable and polluted. All water needs to be boiled for a long time, using scarce firewood.
The country’s high infant mortality rate of 97 out of every 1,000 live births can be partly attributed to bad water and poor sanitation. As a result of drinking contaminated water, many adults and children are stricken with water-born diseases such as cholera, typhoid and diarrhoea. Children miss school or cannot concentrate, while adults lose out on vital income.
In 2000, Hagar introduced the BioSand Water Filter in many villages and communities in the provinces of Kratie and Kompong Thom. The initiative has become a rallying point for educational campaigns on health and hygiene. The Water Filter Project is now into its fifth year of installing water filters, training families on its effective use and monitoring its appropriate use and maintenance.
If you would like to be an Angel to help provide 4-5 families of Cambodia with clean, safe water for the next 10-15 years, all it costs is £25 click Donate and give.
