The 250,000 Goal
The 250,000 Goal is about ending water poverty for that many people living in Africa.
The good news...is that through Turn on the Tap, over 1 million people in the world have already been lifted out of water poverty.
The bad news... is that there are still 884 million people who don’t have access to clean water in our world today.
That's why we’re on a mission to lift another 250,000 people out of water poverty - and we'd love you to join in. If you get involved, you won't just be 'doing your bit for charity', you'll be helping us transform 250,000 lives forever.That's the real bit of good news.
Here are three simple ways that you can be part of this change:.
1) Go on a sponsored walk for water
Most of us are used to walking up to a tap and turning it to get hold of clean water. For most people in the developing world, that’s far from their reality.They have to walk up to three hours to a water source in scorching temperatures. Often the water they collect is dirty and contaminated.
Why not organise a sponsored walk to help these children and families? Get together with your family, friends, colleagues and walk together as a mark of solidarity, raising funds along the way. Here’s how.
2) Hide a water-themed treasure
It’s pretty simple. All you need to do is hide a water related object (e.g a small rubber duck) inside a small plastic tub somewhere in your local area and tell us well you hid it. It's a bit of fun for you, and when others come and make a donation to find your treasure, there will be a family in Africa happy to receive access to clean water as a result.

3) Donate just £8
Just £8 could give a child access to life-transforming clean water as part of the overall cost of a water filter, installed by Samaritan's Purse in the family home. This locally-made concrete structure uses sand and gravel to filter out up to 95% of all bacteria found in dirty water, giving the family clean water in the home for up to 15 years.
You are just a click away from helping change a child's life for the better. Click here to donate.
Thanks for helping us lift 250,000 people out of water poverty.
