Can you spare £5 to help save the life of a child like Gertrude?
Imagine a water hole near a dirt road in rural Africa, where people wash their greasy motorbikes. The animals have already drunk their fill, and now a 10 year old girl, Gertrude Namakon, fills a 20 litre jerry can with this same water, teeming with infectious bacteria. Meanwhile vital learning continues in school. All of Gertrude’s youthful energy is channelled into bringing home this filthy water, which will inevitably infect her and her younger siblings with bouts of diarrhoea – that could lead to their death.
In fact, in the time it has taken you to read to read this email, another child has died from a water-related disease.
Make a difference in the next 20 seconds
