Help Us Bring Healing And Clean Water To Glory Fellowship Orphanage With Medicine, A Water Tank And Their Own Well

I knew something was wrong from the moment I got on my weekly video call with Pastor Dancan to do our Bible study. He looked a little under the weather, and I could hear the coughs of many of the orphan children in the background. When I asked him about it, he said they were right now dealing with an outbreak of malaria and typhoid due to not having a steady source and supply of clean drinking water. If you look at the photo at the top of the article, that’s where they currently get their water from, and it’s two miles away from where they live. Imagine your children drinking from that. Now come help us.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 (KJB)

The children of Glory Fellowship Orphanage are facing an urgent crisis. Typhoid and malaria have already begun taking their toll, and the immediate need is $1,200 for medicine and treatment. These children cannot wait for better circumstances or a more convenient time. They need our help now for medicine to fight infection, care to restore their strength, and the assurance that they have not been forgotten. But treating the present illness is only the beginning. A 2,600-gallon water tank will cost $800, providing the orphanage with a dependable way to store a large supply of clean water. That tank would immediately improve daily life by giving the children safer water for drinking, cooking, washing and sanitation. It would be an important first step toward reducing the conditions that allow sickness to spread.

THIS IS THE 4 MILE ROUND TRIP THAT THE CHILDREN AT THE ORPHANGE MAKE EVERY DAY TO GET DIRTY WATER FROM THE RIVER THAT’S MAKING THEM SICK – THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE

The lasting solution is to drill a permanent well. For $5,000, Glory Fellowship Orphanage could have its own reliable source of clean water instead of depending upon muddy streams, unsafe collection points or uncertain supplies. A well would do far more than meet today’s emergency—it would protect children for years to come. It would bring dignity, stability and a measure of independence to an orphanage that faithfully cares for children with very limited resources. Lord willing, that’s what we will do, and here’s what we need to do to accomplish that.

Altogether, we are seeking to raise $7,000: $1,200 for the medicine, $800 for the water tank and $5,000 to drill the well. This is our opportunity to address both the immediate crisis and the underlying need. We can help these children recover from typhoid and malaria, provide a large supply of clean stored water, and then give the orphanage a permanent well of its own. This is what Christian compassion looks like in action. It is medicine for the sick, water for the thirsty and hope for children who cannot provide these things for themselves. Pray about what the Lord would have you do, and help us accomplish all three goals for Glory Fellowship Orphanage. We need your prayers and support, please come help us!!
