Ruby Illing speaks with Om Prakash, a civil engineer from WaterHarvest. WaterHarvest is a UK based charity that works with rural communities in India to assist them in building structures to collect and store rainwater, providing them with access to clean water year-round. Om discusses his fieldwork with the villagers and the profound effects that access to water may have on the lives of women and girls in these communities.

Alyson Mitchell, who has been given a golden ticket entry into the London October Marathon on behalf of WaterHavest, is aiming to raise £2,000 for the organisation. Click to donate.
