Why...

 

Vicky, someone much loved by many who was killed by a lorry while bicycling to work on the 17th October 2006. Vicky had spent much time in Africa studying water development and part of this time was with the incredible charity Action Aid in Ethiopia. Following her death, through the incredible efforts of friends, family, Action Aid and the community in Ethiopia Vicky’s Water Project was opened in 2010 providing clean running water to over 20,000 people in and around Lera Town, Ethiopia.

 

Thanks to the funds raised to date, in addition to running water, we have also managed to expand the school to house some of the children that no longer spend their days collecting water. However there is still a desperate shortage of classrooms in the area and for that reason we’re attempting to raise £49,572 to build and equip a further four classrooms and provide the necessary sanitation to help support 2,075 children each year. 
 

Every penny will make an enormous difference…

£10 can support the construction of new toilets meaning improved sanitation for girls and boys, improving their health and hygiene

£10 can provide the essential building materials needed to construct new classrooms blocks for children in need of an education

£20 could provide a school desk and chair to help improve a child’s concentration and ability to learn

£37 could provide a blackboard and noticeboards for new classrooms at Lera High School
