We're riding motorbikes across Tasmania to help bring safe water to every home in Pari Village, Papua New Guinea.
Welcome to Revving for Relief 2026, where the hum of a motorbike engine meets the call for change.
From 7 to 11 December, a team of Salesforce riders and support cars will spend five days crossing Tasmania's wild west. This is our fourth Revving for Relief ride, and every kilometre is for WaterAid Australia.
Where your donation goes
Every dollar we raise this year goes to WaterAid's new project in Pari Village, Papua New Guinea, through the Countdown to Clean Water campaign.
More than 4,500 Motu Koitabu people live in Pari, just minutes from Port Moresby's city skyline. Yet families there still struggle every day to get safe water. Rapid urbanisation has overwhelmed the traditional systems, so households rely on informal vendors, long queues and distant, low-pressure water points. They pay far more for water than formal utility customers do, and they get poorer, less reliable service. Women and children carry the heaviest load, spending hours each day collecting water instead of going to school, earning a living or looking after their wellbeing.
The groundwork for change is already in place. WaterAid, the Motu Koita Assembly and Water PNG have set up Pari Water Services, a water business run by the community, and a deep borehole installed by WaterAid has shown that a reliable, locally managed supply can work. The model is simple, sustainable and scalable: community-run kiosks, fair pricing, metered household connections and strong local governance.
But the project is at a tipping point. Without more investment, the kiosks can't run and the borehole can't reach every household. Your donation helps fund the next stage: an additional borehole, upgraded pipes, more kiosks, metered connections to homes and stronger governance, so that safe water finally reaches every home in Pari.
Why it matters to us
Most of us turn on a tap without a second thought. On the last day of the ride we'll visit TasWater's Bryn Estyn Water Treatment Plant [confirm once TasWater says yes] to see what it takes to deliver safe water to a city, and to remind ourselves how many people still go without it.
