Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) is a famous Latin quotation, often translated as "A sound mind in a sound body." It is derived from Satire X of the Roman poet Juvenal (10.356). In context, the phrase is part of the author’s answer to the question of what people should desire in life, for themselves and for others.

FairSport.org summarizes this statement in a single word, it stands for perseverance and a healthy livestyle, caring about yourself as well as for others. This perfectly lines up with the FairWater statement, to promote fair and durable water management all over the world.

The FairSport group organizes from time to time special events, like to run for durable water projects in Africa. Read about & join the FairWater Marathon Rotterdam on April 2011, when SpreadingWater athletes run for water.

Support this sportive group of FairSport.org to run 42 km for water and raise funds to replace abandoned handpumps with BluePumps in Western Burkina Faso.

Already over 10 BluePumps have been installed in this area by a local company, and the communities would like to have more of these durable handpumps, so come, run & join to support SpreadingWater!
