Why Frank Bolaji Irawo is fundraising for clean water

Thank you for donating to our UK/EU charity: water Running Club! As a team, we are fundraising to give over 1000 people access to clean, safe drinking water.

I Know The Pain Of Not Having Clean water

I can personally relate to the hardships experienced when this most basic of human needs are not served by proper infrastructure.

During my earlier years when my parents moved back to Nigeria after studying here in the UK. We lived in a decent standard of housing but the water supply infrastructure was unreliable.

I often made several round trips to our local military barracks several miles away to fetch water for the household; carrying the container on my head.

There are many who have it worse, spending the whole day fetching unhealthy water only to fall prey to disease.

Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections, and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

This fundraising campaign will help charity: water build these types of projects around the world!

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community helped.

    Thnks David for your support and kind words. I enjoyed the experience as it was my first 10K, not sure how much I would have left in the thanks. But did well in the end.
