Water Aid Appeal

Water Aid has been promised that the British Government will match donations received by Water Aid before 18 September, specific projects are in rural areas of Malawi.  (This will be done through the International Development Department.)

Great St. Mary’s is making an immediate donation of £500 from its Wider Concerns funds.  If you would also like to contribute please see the website  http://www.thebigdig.org/donate/

Children will be well enough to go to school and get an education.
Parents will be able to spend more time earning an income.
People will be able to spend more on food for their family, rather than healthcare.
