At Village Water, we spend most of our waking moments thinking about water, and how unfair it is that some people don't have it. We're always working to change that and we've reached over 800,000 people since 2004. Now, we're setting ourselves another challenge...

This year, with our local partners in Mozambique, we are planning to repair 200 water points in schools and villages and as a team we want to raise the money for the very first.

Joined by our board of superstar Trustees, we're going to give up one thing we love for Lent - as if lockdown wasn't hard enough! - or setting our own personal challenges, asking our friends and families to donate whilst making our own contributions too.

What will be a challenge for us for 40 days is still nothing in comparison to what families in rural Mozambique have to survive through every day. By raising £1018 we can help around 400 people access safe water near their home, along with a decent toilet, somewhere to wash their hands, helping protect from COVID-19 and hygiene training. Anything extra we raise will go towards helping support another village, so the sky is the limit!

*Update 10/3/21: THANK YOU! We raised enough for one water point and we've still got a month to go, that mean's we've just got to keep the challenge going. Now, we want to raise enough to reach two communities with life-changing WASH facilities. Thanks for your support so far - love the Village Water team."
