Walking

We ran into these villagers carrying water deep in the rain forrest of Central African Republic. Each jerry can weighs at least 40lbs filled with five gallons of dirty water. The average family in the U.S. consumes 150 gallons of water a day.

Nancy of Doro
photo by Jason Wallis
Nancy is a member of her local church and a mother of three. When we visited with Nancy she walked us almost a mile down the road to show us where she daily collects water for her family.
Having lost one child herself, she told us of many children in Doro who have passed away from diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water.
Coming alongside the local church in Sudan, clean water allows them to give a practical demonstration of the love of Christ and care for their people who have suffered so many years of civil war.
Taban

Taban is a typical child in southern Sudan. Around dusk the women and children set out to gather water for the evening activities of cooking, drinking and bathing.
Most children, however, do not have bikes like Taban and usually carry their water on foot.
Todd is teaming with Neverthirst to bring clean and living water to India!
