Glastonbury Festival and WaterAid to auction 21 pairs of signed boots

for Hunter Boots for WaterAid project dedicated to help people in Madagascar

Tuesday 4th November 2008


Glastonbury Festival and WaterAid are to hold an auction of celebrity signed Hunter Boots. A number of high profile celebrities were invited to customise and sign the limited edition WaterAid welly at this year's Glastonbury Festival. The wellies were designed exclusively for WaterAid to raise much need funds for the 'Hunter for WaterAid' project, dedicated to helping people in remote regions of Madagascar.

The celebrity boots which will be auctioned from Thursday 13th November on eBay's website include those of Jay-Z, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Noel Gallagher, Kings of Leon, Kate Moss, The Verve, Elbow, The Feeling, KT Tunstall, Goldfrapp, New Young Pony Club, The Enemy, Groove Armada, The View, The Fratellis, John Mayer, Mark Ronson, James Blunt, Alex James, and Katie Melua.

The Malagasy Government reports that in Madagascar only 27% of the population has safe water and 36% have adequate sanitation. For the majority of the 17.3million people who live in Madagascar, the lack of access to safe water and sanitation has a severe impact on health and livelihood. Malaria, diarrhea, dysentery and respiratory diseases are common place in rural Madagascar and millions of work and school days are lost each year because of illness.

eFestivals supports WaterAid. We donate 1% of our turnover (turnover, not profit) to charities each year with the major beneficiary being WaterAid.

WaterAid work in 17 countries providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene education to some of the world's poorest people, www.wateraid.org.uk.

Next year's Glastonbury Festival runs for five full days from Wednesday 24th until Sunday 28th June 2009 at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
