During Lent in 2021, thousands of you donated, prayed and raised sponsorship for our Family Fast Day Appeal, inspired by the story of Abdella, who lived in Afar, in northern Ethiopia.
Four years ago, Abdella was 23 years old, and was walking for ten hours every day to collect safe water for himself and his two young cousins.
Abdella felt this daily task was wasting his life. He wanted the time to start a family and a business. And a solar powered water pump, funded by your donations, was the plan to make Abdella’s dreams into reality.
Ibrahim, who lived in a remote community in the same region as Abdella, told us back in 2021 of his happiness and relief when a pump was installed in his village.
