We are thrilled to have been chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the Big Give’s Green Match Fund. Our target is to raise £20,000 for our UREKA project to build resilience to climate change and improve agriculture through access to clean water – but we need your help!

But, across the world, lack of access to water turns these simple tasks into an endless struggle. With new challenges facing communities across the world under the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for water to regularly wash hands has never been greater.
