Montana on a Mission’s first water token kiosk is up and running at the Ripoi community well! A very exciting opportunity. This technology allows community members to fetch water from the kiosk, paying a very small fee each month that goes into an account for the community. They will then have money for maintenance and repairs of the project as well as saving money for other community projects, such as schools!
There’s always work to do. Maintenance and supervision of projects by Montana on a Mission local employees is what keeps the clean water flowing to the tens of thousands of people who depend on them for water daily. Did you know that up to 80% of the wells drilled in Africa are defunct for want of basic maintenance. We are committed to keeping 100% of Montana on a Mission boreholes flowing for generations to come!
You did it! Thanks to YOU we met our year-end matching funds goal of $30,000! Thanks to your generosity we were able to raise $30,000 during our end of year campaign and that means the $30,000 becomes $60,000! This couldn’t have come at a better time with the dual crises in the Philippines and Kenya of typhoon and drought. We are currently responding with emergency food relief, clean water, blankets and clothing and short term shelter as needed. We are working on a longer range recovery plan for the Philippines that will include repairing and rebuilding homes destroyed during the super typhoon and resulting flooding. Stay tuned for more information on that but for now we just want to say…
This young widow and her family will soon have clean water very close to their home, thanks to YOU! One of the first things they asked when I visited their home, was if I had a Bible for them. Thanks to a generous donor who made a gift specifically for that purpose, they also now have a Bible in their native language.
#Water and #LivingWater go hand in hand! ❤️💦
