In today’s episode, in partnership with WaterAid, journalist and author Coco Khan speaks to Amaka Godfrey, WaterAid’s Executive Director of International Programmes. Amaka has spent more than 25 years working across the world in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector. She shares powerful stories of how clean water means children stay in school, healthcare is safer, and mothers can support their families or run businesses. Clean water changes lives and unlocks potential for entire communities. As we head into the festive season - what is for many of us a time of comfort, celebration, and gatherings round a table - most of us won’t think twice about the clean water running from our taps that make it possible. But for millions of people around the world, this is something they just don’t have. Just £5 a month over a year can buy 5 standpipe taps so children like Nesteline, and her whole community, can have clean water for years to come. Please donate £5 a month today and help us to work alongside communities to bring clean water to everyone, everywhere. Visit wateraid.org/uk/intelligence to donate and find out more.
