I would like to thank the Southern Water customers who gave so generously to our WaterAid appeal.
The appeal, which was launched in February last year, raised a staggering £125,294 from 3,323 of our customers, a fantastic effort.
Money raised from the 1999 appeal has helped communities throughout Africa and Asia to improve their own water supplies through low-cost and self-help schemes using simple and practical technologies.
The average cost per person of supplying a safe village water supply combined with sanitation and hygiene education is under £11 and so the £125,294 raised will be of tremendous help.
-Neil Duncanson, Chairman, Southern Region WaterAid Group
