Hope for Congo hasn't added a story.
You can make a difference!
Clean water that is safe to drink is a global problem. Each year, 300 million school days are missed because children have to walk so far to get water. Women and children are often the ones walking up to four miles a day which can take as much as six hours. 80 percent of the diseases in the Democratic Republic of Congo are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
The solution begins with digging a well that will provide clean water to the local community. Mukedi is a rural community in western Congo without a well and access to clean water.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the poorest countries in the world. In 2018 the world bank estimated that 73% of the population lives on less than $1.90 per day. The cost to dig a well is big expense. The purchase of materials and equipment, shipment of materials and drilling equipment to the community and the cost of labor can be as much as $10,000.
A donation of $20 dollars can provide safe drinking water for one person. With your help, together, we can make a difference in our world. With your donation Hope for Congo will be your hands and feet to provide clean water to the families at Mukedi.
Your donation will inspire this generation of students to make our world a better place and a safe place to live together in peace.
