Clean Water -
The Maclean Brothers’ Pacific row for Madagascar
Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean, proud Ambassadors of Feedback Madagascar, have set off on an extraordinary challenge: rowing across the entire Pacific Ocean to raise £1 million for our clean water projects.
They began their journey on Saturday, April 12th, embarking on a 9,000-mile crossing from Peru to Australia. If successful, they will become the first team in history to row the Pacific Ocean non-stop and unsupported — all in the name of bringing lasting access to clean water to over 40,000 people in Madagascar.
This remarkable expedition is more than a physical challenge. It reflects the brothers’ long-standing commitment to Madagascar and their belief in the life-changing power of clean water. As long-time partners of Feedback Madagascar and through The Maclean Foundation, they have already funded 21 boreholes, now serving more than 5,000 people in rural areas — where 80% of the population still lacks access to clean water.
“Raising money for clean water projects is the focus of this row.”
“Inspired doesn’t come close to describing how we feel about the team at Feedback Madagascar, who are doing such essential and challenging work.”
“Clean Water doesn’t just improve health – it changes the entire morale of a place.”
The Maclean Brothers have traveled to Madagascar multiple times, visited our projects and even joined our drilling team, witnessing first hand the immense effort behind every drop of clean water and the profound impact it has on peoples lives and the forests they depend on.
We are proud to be the delivery partner of this effort — turning their fundraising into long-term access to clean, safe water for those who need it most, transforming health, education, and livelihoods.
