Thanks to Dennis for sharing details from this Isle of Wight charity, doing some fantastic work across the globe. Ed
International charity, The ROTB Trust (1147062), are asking people to ‘Walk For Water’, to celebrate the fact that the charity are now officially registered with the Charity Commission, to use the Walk for Water and Walk 4 Water names for fundraising.
Adrian Brewer, CEO of The ROTB Trust said:
“Every single day, thousands of people across the world are forced to make journey after journey, in pursuit of water, before carrying up to 20 litres on their head or back.
“We are looking for people of all ages who want to take on the challenge of walking up to 10 miles each day for (up to) a week, to raise money to help those in developing countries, who have to make this walk.
“All money raised will go towards sending our Rotary Water Barrels to families in developing countries, to help prevent the health problems caused by being forced to carry such heavy amounts each day.”
The ROTB Trust are looking for people to arrange their own walks – and suggest using Just Giving as a way to donate any money made from events to the cause. Once registered with Just Giving, just look for the Roll Out The Barrel Trust ‘Walk 4 Water’ event.
