The WAVES Project
$10,000.00
WAVES: Water for Villages in Ethiopia and Sudan. After the success of the pilot project last year, our partner in Ethiopia is now able to roll out their water and sanitation project to more villages in Ethiopia and Sudan. The project will provide water points, such as wells or protected-springs; toilets; and run education programs in hygiene, maintenance and human rights. It's a massive project, so get involved!
Note: Instead of a gift card, you'll receive an information booklet and certificate and details of the project, plus an update.
Gifts which help provide safe water
In many countries, inadequate access to safe water and sanitation, as well as poor hygiene practices, has a devastating impact on community and family life. Health-related illnesses such as diarrhoea can result in death or chronic illness. Having no close water source means people have to walk a long way just to get clean water for daily life. Things that seem simple to us - like toilets or water systems - can make a huge difference to communities and help people enjoy healthier and happier lives.
These gifts help to provide people with the gift of clean, safe water or improved sanitation. The gifts fund projects and programs that come under our Water and Sanitation banner. This means that they help people and communities to learn new skills, build new resources like toilets and wells, get better access to clean water and protect water supplies from contamination, drought or soil erosion.
