Lent Appeal 2008
We want to buy safe, clean water!
During Lent we will be supporting WaterAid. We encourage everyone to find a collecting pot, fill it up with coins and bring it to church each week where there will be collecting buckets in which you can empty its contents. It's really very simple!
WaterAid is an international charity whose mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. The charity also seeks to influence policy at national and international levels.

How does WaterAid work?
WaterAid and its partners work with individuals and families in their communities and use a mixture of low-cost technologies to deliver lasting water, sanitation and hygiene solutions.
