WORLD VISION WATER PROJECT

World Vision Water Project

• Everyday 800 kids 5 years and below die due to dirty water 

• Usually kids (predominately girls) walk to get the dirty water for their families

• Kids are often abused & trafficked while they walk and are sometimes attacked by animals on the walk 

• Kids (especially girls) don’t get to go to school because they have to walk typically 8 miles a day for dirty water 

• $50 brings lasting clean water and completely changes a life

You can save a life for $50 today by visiting WORLD VISION’s website.

TOGO​, AFRICA

We partner with 6 Degree Initiative in their work in Togo.

The 6 Degree Initiative is a church planting movement focusing on the unreached people groups just north of the equator in West Africa. This area spans the balmy African coast that has been greatly impacted most by Voodoo and the exportation of precious human life through the slave trade. 6 Degree is partnering with national leaders to plant churches in the least-reached cities of the region. A concentrated church planting movement within these culturally significant cities serves as a launching pad for ministry into smaller communities.

Leadership and Employment help for Pastors and Church Leaders is needed: $200 pays for an internship that results in a lifetime career; $1000 for a Community College degree that will provide a community leader and $5000 for a University Degree that will equip a nationwide leader.

The Togo team is building a 7 bedroom guest house for interns and visitors. Internships are one of the best ways to get long term missionaries in Togo. The cost of the guest house is $50,000.
