Greener Lent Smashing Success

We did it! Greener Lent participants smashed through our goal of $5,000 and raised $12,792 for the poor in four poor African dioceses that suffered from a lack of clean water.

We had a small part of a big project, and digging started as funds were being donated. Currently, 93% of the boreholes have been successfully dug, benefitting 15,386 Adults and 19,568 children! The project is expected to be completed in July. Additionally, 440 Adults have been provided with training and sanitation education to make sure the wells don't fall into disrepair and continue to provide clean water.

Thank you for the 72 gifts that helped make this water available. And, thank you for the prayers for those suffering from a lack of clean water in Africa, and for protection of God’s creation. There is so much bad news about the environment, but we are the source of good news. There is a water crisis in Africa, but we brought hope and love.
