Message from Patricia
Want to give up something for Lent this year that will make a real difference in the lives of those who don't have access to clean water? How about donating some of your hard earned cash for a so-called Jesus Well, that could help a whole community. I have donated to a biosand filter for 3 families, aside from this project, when I saw the opportunity to group fund, I thought "Hey, why not?" So, will you join me?
About Jesus Wells
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
