absolute charity

October’s featured charity

Water Aid

What we do:
WaterAid enables the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. These basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods and form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty. Without these services 4000 children die needlessly every single day.

Get involved:
Whoever you are and whatever your interests we need you to get involved and help us to make a difference to the world’s poorest people.
Each year WaterAid has a presence at a number of events and this year is no exception.  We are excited to announce that we have places on the Brighton Half Marathon in Feb 2010 and the brand new Brighton Marathon in April 2010. 
Please go on to the WaterAid website to find out more about these events and see what else we have on offer!
