Closure

A huge thank you to Julie Bushell!

WaterHarvest

Since 2012, Julie Bushell has raised over £9,000 for WaterHarvest through hosting a summer and winter quiz – and also a curry night. 

We do not underestimate the huge amount of work that goes into putting together a quiz, sending it out and collecting all the donations and we are incredibly grateful. We would also like to thank all the people who do Julie’s quiz and donate so generously. 

The funds donated have been used to help families in the Thar desert to build simple underground tanks which catch and store the rain so that the family has clean drinking water all year round. 

The funds raised by Julia and her quiz have provided 18 families in the Thar with tanks. 

A huge thank you Julie! 

If you would like to host a quiz, please do get in touch with us at office@water-harvest.org
