One of the hidden dangers of dirty water is the fact that it leaves people, particularly girls and women,  in an isolated situation.  When having to leave the village to go to the toilet or wash dishes women become prone to attacks from animals,  assault or even rape.

Michael blogs the following from the field.

Costance &Ketrine are not on transfer but they are coming from the river where they always wash their dishes since there is no water source in the village.Due to long distance &bushy area,the girls’lives might be at risk

UKaid Secure payments

Every pound you donate before 18 September will be doubled by the UK Government – so we can give twice as much help. If you are a UK taxpayer you can also add Gift Aid to your donation at no cost to you. £10 + Government matching = £20. Plus Gift Aid = £22.50 = more lives transformed.

Every penny we raise through The Big Dig Appeal will help to transform lives forever in Malawi.
