Inching Towards Clean Water!!

By the Yard it is hard!!  BUT by the INCH it is a cinch!!!

Please join us in finishing the Dress A Girl Around the World well #2, which is situated in Hiriga, Uganda.  This well will give clean water to over 9,500 children.  It costs $10,150 to drill a deep borehole, which is a lot of money but dividing it up into inches… it is only $5 per inch.  We will need 2030 to give an inch to make this happen!!

The current water source for Hiriga is a seasonal pond 4.5 kilometers from the village.  Because it is a seasonal water source, during the dry times it is just a puddle making the situation even worse!  The source is also in a swampy area out of the sight of homes so there is danger to the women and children in the form of violence and rape.

Did you know?  EVERY 20 SECONDS a child dies from water related illness.  

And diseases related to dirty water include:

Cholera

E Coli

Dysentery

Typhoid

Hepatitis A

Campylobacteriosis

Worms

And all kinds of Parasites!!

You can help win the fight in Hiriga!!  

When I was in Uganda I saw the JOY first hand that a well brings to a village!  

A well makes all the difference in the lives of the people

less disease 

less lost hours of walking to a dirty water source

less harm to the children!!

It is hard to realize but according to the United Nations more people die as a result of polluted water than are killed by all forms of violence including war!!

Every Inch is Important!!

Matthew 10:42

"And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."
