My Birthday is on the 7th March and this year it’s the big 30. This year I’m doing something extra special.
For Christmas somebody gave me some gift vouchers for a massive department store in London’s west end. I spent ages wandering around looking for something to buy and after a couple of hours realised that I already have everything I need. Every year when I’m asked what gift I want for my birthday I can never think of anything.
So this year I’m asking all my family, friends, acquaintances, even strangers, to give me some cash to help raise some money to fund the building of a well in Ethiopia. Clean water is on a tap for me, but to so many it’s not available and many suffer and die as a result.Six months ago a discovered charity:water and was really blown away the stuff they do. On our recent UK tour we managed to raise £1756.50. Thanks to all of those who helped and gave their hard earned cash. This will pay for a well to be built in Ethiopia. We will keep you informed in the progress.
I’m asking for £30 from everyone towards this, if that’s a bit steep then any amount would be brilliant if you want to give me more then go crazy!

Please help me to do some thing great to celebrate my birthday. Hooray!

Cheers, Steve

why £10?

A freshwater well typically costs £1,750 - £5,000 and can serve an average of 500 people with clean water for 20 years. So, for £10, one person in Africa is provided with clean water.

what happens next?

After a well is installed, charity: water partners work directly with villagers, teaching them how to maintain and fix their well and hand pump device, while also conducting basic hygiene and sanitati on classes. learn more >
