Wells of Hope
Water. It’s something many of us take for granted. It’s only as far away as our nearest faucet. Unlike most of the word’s citizens, we don’t have to worry about collecting water, it comes to us instead.
One place UMCOR is helping people to gain better access to water is in Afghanistan. Thousands of people are returning to Afghanistan after years of living as refugees in other countries. They come home to decimated communities and need to completely rebuild their homes, schools, businesses, and basic infrastructure.
One essential piece for reconstruction is water. It’s scarce in Afghanistan and a community cannot sustain itself without it. UMCOR has constructed more than 20 wells in the communities where it works, each well providing more than 200 people with water to meet their day-to-day needs.
One Great Hour of Sharing
Through UMCOR’s programs families are rebuilding with a new hope for their futures. This important work would not be possible without One Great Hour of Sharing. This special offering funds the cost of doing business for UMCOR and allows UMCOR to keep its promise to send 100 percent of designated funds to the intended project.
Your generous gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing are imperative for UMCOR’s important work to continue.
