A message from the community

We say water is life and in our case your presence in our community has indeed brought us life. With so many of our wells out of service, we all suffered.  Now we are together in common ground, rejoicing for this blessing.  

Thank you

Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

There was social conflict in this community so when we asked villagers to identify the pumps that needed to be repaired, they did not tell us about some that needed to be fixed. Therefore, people living there who needed safe water continued to suffer.

But now there has been ongoing reconciliation, and we were told about the additional wells that required repairs to their pumps. Thankfully, our repair team found that major rehabilitation was not needed. We got this pump and some others pumps fixed and the people were very excited to see water flowing again. Our repair team told us: "It was a great blessing to be part of this peacemaking/reconciliation mission for blessed are the peacemakers! More so, the love of Christ was demonstrated."




Every $1 you give provides a child with safe water for a year!
