A message from the community

Thursday 23 January 2025 Acul du Nord, Dupaty Dear donor, On behalf of the community of Acul du Nord, Dupaty, we ask you to accept our thanks for your generosity in funding the construction of a new well in our locality. Before this access to clean and safe water was a daily struggle, we’ve spent hours collecting water from distant sources and often the well in our community was too small to provide for us. Water-related diseases were a constant threat. Thanks to you we no longer face these struggles. Our kids attend school regularly; we are healthier and stronger; your gift has brought a life-saving relief for that we are eternally grateful. The community of Acul du Nord, Dupaty
