Story

Two billion people around the world lack access to safe, clean water. Run the Dubai Marathon and provide a community with access to water.

Funds raised through the Dubai Marathon will be used to provide remote, marginalized communities in Indonesia and Uganda with access to safe water via well rehabilitations, well drills, water filters, and rainwater harvesting systems. Each solution impacts approximately 1,000 people with access to life's most basic need - safe water for generations to come!

• 5,000 AED - Provides 50 safe water filters to 50 families in Indonesia
• 10,000 AED - Rehabilitates a well in Uganda / Installs rainwater tanks at an Indonesian school
• 40,000 AED - Drills a new well in Uganda / Builds a community rainwater harvester (100,000 liters+) in Indonesia

Every drop - no matter how small - will make a difference for generations to come!
