Are you up for a challenge?

Actually there are two challenges. The first is being harnessed 1,168ft away from the ground and walking around the outside of the CN tower.  The second challenge is to raise at least $1,500 that will go towards digging wells and building sanitation systems in developing countries through the Islamic Relief Water & Wells Project.

Inadequate water, wells, sanitation and hygiene not only cause sickness and death, as shortages in water can lead to harvest failures and even famine. All of  these factors combine together to contribute to the continuing cycle of poverty in developing countries
Islamic Relief's water & sanitation activities include:
Building water supply systems in deprived areas
Digging and restoring water wells
Implementing water purification projects
Undertaking integrated sanitation programmes
Community mobilisation and awareness programmes

Here are some exmples of Islamic Relief's water and sanitation projects:

Albania: Clean water for Lumturie

Indonesia: Bamboo water pipes

Niger: Community Solidarity


Take the EdgeWalk challenge and help provide clean accessible water to help overcome the numerous problems associated with the lack of clean water and sanitation facilities.
