There is a saying that “water is life.”
We can easily obtain the water that is essential for sustaining life, but
On the other side of the world, about 4,200 children die every day from contaminated water.
It takes at least 3-4 hours to travel to get water.
Water has a greater meaning for children in Africa who lack water.
First, the children move in groups to get water.
Why do they go in groups?
It is a life-threatening threat from wild animals.
Africa is home to lions, hyenas, leopards, hippos, and other animals that we see in the animal kingdom.
The wild animals of the animal kingdom that we see on TV are not only found on TV.
Because it can always be right in front of your house or in the forest.
Also, many girls and women are raped on their way to get water.
One of the reasons why women are raped in Africa is
An incident is occurring right on the way to get water.
A round trip of 2-3 hours to fetch water is one of the physically demanding tasks even for adults.
This is especially difficult for young children, especially when it happens 2-3 times a day.
This is said to be the most common reason for not going to school.
They say that children who have to go to school are too tired and exhausted to go to school.
And there are very few children across the continent of Africa who eat a proper diet.
So that's the hidden reason why we need to build a lot of wells near the villages.
Tanzanian children cry out together.
“It’s such a pleasure to draw water from the tap.”
Since the water tank was installed, the children's lives have changed.
No more pressure to fetch water from home or school,
There is never a day when I miss class because I have to fetch water.
In the time it takes to fetch water, I now study at school,
It turned into a fun time playing ball with friends.
In addition, the clean water you get from the tap
It has become possible to live a sanitary and safe life because it can be eaten right away.
Children expressing gratitude for installing a well
Children who no longer go to fetch water
In the future, our church's well ministry will not only be in Tanzania,
It is planned to expand to neighboring countries in need of clean water (Rwanda, Congo, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe).
Please continue to pray together for the well ministry.
I hope you can convey my warm feelings.
