Lions and WaterAid
WaterAid is grateful for the kind support of nearly 800 Lions Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland. In recent years, these Clubs have been working to raise funds for vital WaterAid projects in Malawi and Nepal.
A message from Mr. John Charles, Lions International Relations Officer (IRO), MD105 2008/09
"WaterAid can provide lasting access to safe water, sanitation and improved hygiene for just £15 per person. With over 5,000 children dying from water-related diseases everyday, we have a responsibility to do all we can. The continued support is making a real difference – keep up the good work!"
A message from Mr. Ram Jaggi, MD105 Lions IRO 2006/07, who represented Lions Clubs on a visit to WaterAid projects in Malawi.
"I saw how simple ingredients such as clean water and latrines make such a big difference to the lives of so many. WaterAid's work is low cost and sustainable ensuring that the benefits of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education are felt long into the future. Lions fully support this objective and the wonderful spirit in which the work is being carried out."
