Since charity: water was founded in 2006, they’ve been chasing one ambitious goal: ending the global water crisis. And while the water crisis is huge, they’re optimistic. They know how to solve the problem, and make progress every day thanks to the help of local partners and generous supporters. They know that If we work together, everyone will have access to life’s most basic needs within our lifetime.
In an effort to support the incredible work that charity: water do, at Simon Deen Real Estate, we have two goals of our own;
The first is to fund at least one basic water project through donations by Simon Deen Real Estate.
The second is to fund at least one further basic water project through donations from our clients and friends.
Water projects start at £8,000, so we'll need to raise at least £16,000. It's an ambitious goal, but one we're committed to achieving.
These are not one off goals. We are committed to funding at least two water projects every financial year. To do so we'll need the generous support of people like you. Because together, we can solve the water crisis.
