A GIFT OF LOVE AND CLEAN WATER

The murky water in the photo above was the only source of water for drinking, cooking and washing for families in this poor Indian village. Now, thanks to our Partners in Hope, the villagers have ready access to clean well water at a nearby tap. Below is a personal message from Pastor Paparao, our contact in poor Indian towns:

“ I take this opportunity to thank you so much for your compassionate help to dig a water well in a needy village where the people are suffering due to lack of safe drinking water. Now, with your kind help, we have completed this project successfully. The bore well was installed in  Durgada village Approximately 700 families in this village, most of the people here belong to backward class families, low income groups, untouchable communities. People in may villages are suffering a lot due to lack of safe drinking water. Now, because of your kind help and support, the water problem in this village was solved and all the village people especially the women were so happy and thankful to you for your kind help.”   – Pastor Paparao, India

-year-old Padma was abandoned by her parents in a filthy bus station. When the little girl was brought to the attention of Pastor Paparao at CHI affiliate Mission to the Nations, she could only sob her desperate story. Now Padma goes to school and does very well.

Pastor Paparao reports that  “Padma, the bright eyed, ambitious little girl, said she wanted to be a teacher one day, so that she could teach other girls and aid to the empowerment of women ! That’s the heart God blesses us with. And that’s the responsibility which we learn in all our Bibles!”
