Water is life. But for too many the struggle to obtain water risks violence, death, and disease. Without a source of safe water communities die too. All it takes . . .
. . . to provide this vital source of life: a well. We have drilled more than 300 wells across the El Obeid Diocese to save lives, alleviate suffering, and preserve entire communities.
Before the Relief Fund began digging these wells, a common method to obtain water was to dig shallow holes in the earth by hand just to get a small amount of muddy water to drink. Disease and contamination was rampant.
These wells aren't fancy. They don't cost much by U.S. standards (about $14,000)—but they are priceless.
