Fourteen people walked a 13-mile route to raise funds for a borehole in a Ugandan village.
The group, who set off from All Saints Church in Sidmouth, aimed to improve the lives of residents in the remote village of CooPee in northern Uganda.
Through sponsorship from friends, neighbours, and colleagues, the group successfully raised over £6,000.
The funds will go towards the construction of the borehole, providing the village’s 200 residents with easier access to clean water.
The group, who are linked with the UK Charity, The East African Missionary Society (TEAMS), began their walk with a prayer and ended at the church in Salcombe Regis.
A spokesperson from the group said: "In the UK, we are so used to simply turning on a tap whenever we want clean water.
"Things could not be more different where UK Charity, The East African Missionary Society (TEAMS) is based."
Six volunteers from Sidmouth are funding their own three-week trip to the TEAMS base in Gulu, Uganda, later in October.
Their schedule includes visiting the remote community to explain, through translators, the impact the borehole will have on their daily lives. By Bobby Angelov, Sidmouth Herald
