Selected gift ideas from Present Aid

Community tap

Everyone needs clean water to stay alive, and seven- year old Caralis Marítnez Picado is no exception. Sergio Saenz López runs Christian Aid partner the Community Movement of Matagalpa (MCM). He says that they can make water so clean ‘even foreigners drink it’. MCM works with 20 communities to help improve their health and sanitation. Just £45 is enough to provide the pump, pipes and tap stand needed to bring fresh water to villages in Nicaragua. Your gift could provide safe clean water to more communities.
