Bottle of dirty water

Charlie Dimmock

Charlie Dimmock"I suppose I'm known for my water features, right? Well, water features pretty heavily in all our lives."

"In the UK we're fortunate enough to turn on the tap and enjoy clean water (even if we do have to be careful to conserve it), but for many people there's no tap to turn on."

"Having a drink involves, in some cases, walking for hours to the nearest water source. Then you've got to carry that water home to your family. As if that's not bad enough, that water isn't even safe to drink - so you end up getting sick."

"The next time you enjoy a drink of water, think about those people living in very poor countries - they may be miles away but they're no different to you and I and there's no reason why they should have to drink this water. "
