May meeting of Ballymoney U3A.
Other committee members include Jean Philp and, a new member, Jim Sayers.
U3A was pleased to invite local man Frank Stewart to their monthly meeting to speak about the work of WaterAid.
This international charity has a simple aim, to use low cost sustainable solutions to provide the basic essentials of clean drinking water, proper toilets and good hygiene to some of the poorest people in the developing countries of the world.
Millions of people don’t have access to these basic services.
Right now, the some of world’s poorest people do not have access to clean water, sanitation or hygiene.
663 million people live without clean water.
To provide the basic essentials of clean water, somewhere safe to go to the toilet and hygiene training costs on average £15, and gives a life and a future, for one person.
When clean water and toilets are provided people’s lives are transformed.
WaterAid works with local partners and communities to improve access to water and sanitation and promote good hygiene.
