Double the impact of your donation with The Big Give Christmas Challenge

October 18th, 2023

Can you think of a better gift than safe drinking water?


It’s almost that time of year again… We’re taking part in the most exciting match funding campaign this side of Christmas!

For one week only, every £1 you donate will become £2. It’s a great chance to make your donations go even further and help even more people. Let us know you’re planning to support by making a pledge below.

We will release the link to our Big Give page a few days before the campaign goes live. Make sure you follow our social pages, keep an eye on our website or sign up to receive a reminder below.

Make your pledge now

The Big Give Challenge is an online-only campaign. It opens noon, Tuesday 28th November and ends noon, Tuesday 5th December. We’re aiming to raise over £80,000 in just 7 days (or less!) and help over 29,000 people gain access to safe water and sanitation.

Safe water improves health and economic opportunities; with more time and energy children can learn and adults can earn a fair wage. This means a better life for future generations.

“Having safe water has been a blessing in our lives. With 7 children you can only imagine the process of fetching firewood to boil water to make it safe for drinking. Sometimes we would drink water that hadn’t been boiled because I had no time to do it. My younger children used to have loose stool most of the time because of this and sometimes my sons would miss school because they had to help me fetch water and do laundry at the river.

Once we reach our target the match funding is GONE! So to ensure your donation will be doubled, it’s best to get it in as soon as you can when the Challenge opens on 28th November.
