WELLS OF SALVATION

Your generosity to this Lenten Project will provide 69 clean water wells in three countries.

With no access to clean water sources, families in Ghana, Malawi and Zambia struggle each day to collect what they need for drinking, cooking and cleaning. When these sources are contaminated — as they often are — those who drink the water are at risk of painful illnesses, and children suffer most. Together, we can build a brighter future for poor communities.

• WATER With your help, we can fund two wells and 25 sanitary latrine toilets in rural Ghana, 12 wells for communities in Malawi, and 55 wells in Zambia. All communities will receive sanitation and hygiene training that will help improve the health of families.
• EDUCATION This outreach will also build three new schools and teachers’ quarters for a community that has no other safe school options, and a two-classroom block for an existing school that desperately needs more space. This education will provide hope for a future free from poverty!
• SPIRITUAL OUTREACH Your support will share the hope of Christ with suffering families and answer their prayers for relief.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation...Is.12:3
