Great news!
24 July 2024
Just this past week we heard news from Uganda that the spring well Izzy and her Selwyn House School community raised funds for, has been completed and handed over to the local community. I am SO happy to be able to share this photo we received of these children collecting fresh clean drinking water from the newly constructed spring well. Over 50 families in this community now have this ability to collect clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing. What a difference this has made in their lives.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to Izzy for putting her hand up to be our student ambassador, and for choosing to help raise awareness and support for this much needed spring well. Also to all of the wonderful Selwyn House School community, family and friends who got in behind Izzy and her mum Kim, to make this possible. To all of the walkers who got up very early to 'Walk with a Purpose' on the 5th of April we are so incredibly grateful to you all! And importantly to all who sponsored this fundraising walk through your generous donations - thank you so very, very much for bringing hope and life to this community of 50 families. Your generosity has bought transformation to this community that is life changing for everyone living there. You are all change makers.
With thanks and gratitude,
