Every year, 443 million school days are lost due to water and sanitation issues – either because children are too sick to attend school, or because they have to walk long distances to fetch water.
Children need to finish school in order to get a job and break the grinding cycle of generational poverty. And toilets are absolutely key to this. Since Rachel’s family built a toilet with handwashing facilities, Rachel’s grades have improved because she hardly ever misses a day of school.
Want to take on a 4-4-3 Challenge this year? Choose your trio of sporting goals and help raise money to flush away poverty.

When you’ve finished your 443 Challenge, why don’t you celebrate in style! If you manage to raise £240, let us know and we’ll happily send you a T-shirt. Get to £480, and you can ask us for a mug too!
As a small print aside, if you’re after more than one of these items because your 443 Challenge has been a group effort, give us a call, and we’ll be as nice as we can be (but we can’t promise to be able to give you exactly what you’re after as stocks are limited!)
