New WaterAid Cards

The charity, WaterAid, has commissioned several African card images by Linda Nissen Samuels over the years. Born and educated in South Africa, Nissen Samuels is delighted with their popularity and has found this a very fruitful way to give back something to the continent of her birth.
Nearly 160,000 Nissen Samuels cards have been sold. This totals roughly £75,000 raised for WaterAid.

In 2006, 58,000 were sold by Christmas. Her images of Water Gatherers were the top sellers.

This year WaterAid has published two colourful watercolour images of African Water Gatherers in a double pack with no message and Medici cards have reprinted another popular image of women in a landscape for personalised and corporate cards.

To order these cards please go to shop.wateraid.org
