Turville churchgoers back the Make Poverty History campaign

St Mary’s Church, Turville joined forces with WaterAid to back the Make Poverty History Campaign, tying a white band around the church tower after a Sunday service.

Church warden, David Redhouse, who works as a policy officer at WaterAid said: ‘A child dies every 15 seconds from water-related diseases that in most cases are easily preventable. Access to water and sanitation provides the first essential steps out of poverty. But currently there is not enough money being spent on these basic services, and the money that is spent is often not spent in the right way.  We are demanding that the UK Government takes action.’
