Water for Life
Join with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the Diocese of Oakland to provide clean water to the people of Ethiopia.
Did you know that a child dies every 15 seconds due to inaccessibility of clean drinking water?
In 2011, Ethiopia faced one of the worst droughts in decades, affecting more than 12 million people.
Join with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the Diocese of Oakland to provide clean water to the people of Ethiopia by supporting water projects.
Wells
- bring life-sustaining water to families and animals
- provide irrigation for crops
- stop disease and promote health
- provide the means for people to become self-sufficient
The cost of a well is only $10,000 to build and
maintain, but one well can transform a whole
community.
In the time that it took you to read this flyer two
children have died. Don’t wait!
Together we can make a difference
