WOULD YOU DRINK THIS WATER?

TRUE STORY:

There’s an African village in Malawi called Mphomwa where Orant Charities, MSP and CLI had repaired a broken water well and a girl standing there in a tattered dress was afraid to touch the water from the well because she had never seen clear water before. You think I’m kidding? The picture of the girl here is the one from this story and the picture to the nasty water is what she was drinking from before.

STATUS:

Malawi is covered with thousands of broken water wells and most rural Malawians have no access to safe, clean, drinking water. Drinking contaminated water is one of the leading causes of death among children in third world countries.

SOLUTION:

Orant Charities, the Missionaries of St. Paul (MSP) and Child Legacy International (CLI) have already completely refurbished 43 of the broken hand pump water wells in the area where we work. This represents bringing clean water back to about 50,000 people, most of those were children! Since each well costs about $1000 to repair EVERY DOLLAR invested brings clean water back to slightly more than one person for about 5 years!

HERE’S THE DEAL:

Child Legacy International is hosting a charity event called the “Clean Water Climb” to raise money to repair water wells. To support this great cause, I have joined a volunteer team of climbers assembled to scale the world's tallest freestanding mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Topping out at an elevation of 19,349 feet, it is also the highest point on the African continent. We are partnering this year to repair 30 more wells and we are doing everything we can to raise awareness and reach our goal.
