An open letter

African nations are part of the commonwealth. Africa’s resources are documented to have once included gold, diamonds and oil. According to figures, 884 million people lack access to clean water, 3 million every year dying of water related diseases.

Many Africans need clean water. Charities only provide tablets that in many cases do not make unsanitary water safe.

Can the UK help by funding the digging of wells in Africa? The saving of so many lives will begin to make amends for colonial exploitation.
