Christmas is a time when we focus on...
Christmas is a time when we focus
on friends and family and enjoy time together in the comfort of our homes, with
gifts and our favourite foods all around us.
For many of us, Christmas is also a time when we like to think about
those who do not have the same privileges we do and what we can do to help as
part of celebrating the season.
Many of the people of Haiti do
not have access to clean water to drink. Due to the lack of clean water many
children and parents are affected by typhoid and cholera; these are just some
of serious waterborne illnesses that plague Haiti’s population. Haiti is the poorest country in
the Western Hemisphere, with many people living on just $1 to $2 USD a day. In
such poverty, it is impossible for most people to buy clean, healthy water.
Most of the population walks long distances to get water for drinking, cooking,
bathing and cleaning and that water is often unclean and sometimes downright
dangerous.
In
the community of Merger, with a population of almost 10,000 people, the need
for a clean water well in the community is critical. Inspired2change, alongside
Haiti Arise Ministries, has the goal of bringing clean and healthy water to
this community in 2018.
Inspired2change, is an
organization started by Samuel and Leah Bernard. Inspired2change does not only
want to bring temporary relief, but rather authentic change in Haiti.
In March 2018,
Inspired2change is taking a team to Haiti Arise Ministries to help bring clean
water to community of Merger by facilitating the drilling of a well, which will
cost $7, 000 CAD.
Consider joining with us
to help improve the lives of an entire community. If you would like to be a
sponsor for the project, you will receive recognition on the project website,
inspired2change.ca, as well as any promotional literature or presentations done
prior to and after the trip. To donate visit inspired2change.ca
