Make a Will for water
Leaving a gift in your Will may seem daunting but it is usually easier than you think and it could help us continue our work long into the future.
We are proud to be a member of
“Remember a charity” – a consortium of around 200 UK charities, working together to raise awareness of charitable gifts in Wills.
For almost 40 years our rainwater harvesting has helped to improve health, reduce poverty and free women & girls from water procurement to attend school and gain income security. We rely on donations to deliver our work. Remembering WaterHarvest in your Will would be a powerful way to help us continue bringing sustainable change to future communities.
