We are CAFOD volunteers living in the Coastal Deanery who have a great desire to help our brothers and sisters in need around the world. One in three people around the world don’t have clean, safe water near their home. We just walk to our kitchens... This Lent we taking on the Walk for Water Challenge. We will be walking a total of 5 miles (10,000 steps) a day for 40 days to raise money for CAFOD's work around the world. Through our challenge we will be raising money for people like Abdella. Abdella is 23 and lives in Afar, Ethiopia one of the hottest places on earth. He dreams of starting a small business, starting a family and having his own home. He dreams of the day he won't have to walk ten hours to get water. Abdella, like hundreds of people in the area, spends most of a day getting water for his family to drink. He knows that if there was water near his home, his family wouldn't have to worry any more about getting enough to stay alive. Your gift could provide: £10 could buy a water container for a family £39 could buy safe water for a school £198 could buy bikes for a team of three water engineers to travel to water pumps in remote communities.
