Leave a legacy of health, hope and opportunity

We know that your first priority when making a Will is to provide for those closest to you.

As well as remembering family and friends, many people also decide to leave a gift to a special cause, to make a lasting difference to something they really care about.

Sand dams provide a lifelong supply of water for people living in drylands.

Water changes everything. It brings health, hope and opportunity.  

Having a water source nearby means that people, especially women and children, can save up to 12 hours a day that would otherwise be spent fetching water. Their lives are completely transformed, for generations to come.

The land surrounding the dam, once dry and inhospitable, over time becomes fertile and green. Parents can use the water, and time saved, to make a living from farming, which means they can pay school fees for their children.

Children, no longer drinking contaminated water from unsafe sources, are more healthy and now have time to attend a full school day – even going on to study at university, to kick start a promising career. A whole world of opportunity opens up, made possible only by the generosity of supporters like you.

It takes a great many small components to build a sand dam. Whatever you can afford, we will turn it into something important and tangible, that will transform lives for years to come.
