Unsafe water spreads illnesses and creates incredible hardships for poor families around the globe. You can help end their suffering by funding the construction of clean water wells for indigenous populations, like the Aymara in Bolivia. These water systems are sturdy and simple enough to serve the people for many years to come under the supervision of a local water organization. Your gift will quench the thirst of our Bolivian friends and other underserved populations around the world.

Donations from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures for the Easter Catalog incurred through June 30, 2023, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than are needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
