As part of our global citizenship, we have water containers for the children to add any spare coins to make a contribution to the charity WaterAid and we are delighted that some have already kindly put coins in our bottle.
\nWaterAid is an international not-for-profit organisation, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. They work in 38 countries across Africa, Asia, Central America and the Pacific Region to transform lives in some of the world\u2019s poorest communities.
\nAround 289,000 children die each year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That\u2019s nearly 800 children each day, or one child every two minutes. We would like to make a small contribution to make a difference for these children by collecting any spare change you may have.<\/p>\n

If you would like to find out more about WaterAid, you can visit www.wateraid.org, follow @WaterAidUK on Twitter or visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com\/wateraid.<\/p>\n

We would appreciate your support in our efforts to help the children in this project and any spare coins in our water container will be gratefully received. Thank you to those who have already been kind enough to make a contribution.<\/p>\n
