Event: 18 Dartmoor Tors
Event Date: 27th January 2010
Charitie(s) Supported: WaterAid,
The Safety and Security Team are taking 1 day to climb 18 tors in Dartmoor in January - yes January! We are raising money for WaterAid, Whtibread's chosen charity. Our 18 tors represent 18 villages in the rural area of Mahoba district, India, that suffer from serious droughts. There are 235 hand pumps in the area but over 100 don't work and there are very few mechanics. Not many villagers contribute to the repair and maintenance of the water sources and very few households or schools have working toilets. How would you feel if your 10 year old daughter risked falling into this well each time she had to access water and then risked falling ill from drinking it. This is the reality for many children in rural areas all over India. Your support will help by: Training women from the area as mechanics / masons and giving them access to the tools and spares required to carry out repair. Developing a base for the mechanics that will disseminate information on water, sanitation and hygiene and be a centre for water quality testing. Providing a model that demonstrates how good maintenance can improve lives with the intention of replicating and scaling this model up in other areas of the country.
