Water Pipe for The Nuru Trust
Donation protected
About two years ago I lived at The Nuru Trust Children's Home in Tanzania for a month. Francesca and Max are two wonderful individuals who have dedicated their lives to helping these children and their community, all while raising their own two little girls as well.
When I was there I was thrilled to see that because of generous sponsors the kids had access to running water. It now breaks my heart to see that after 8 years, their water pipes have broken. Francesca and Max provided water not only to the kids but also two villages, about 100 families. The nearest water source is as far as 3 KM away.
During the month I was there, sometimes the water in the home wouldn't work so we'd have to walk across the road where it was running, fill up buckets and carry them back. This was a short distance and still being 5'9, pretty in shape and 20 years old I struggled. Some of the kids were up to my knees carrying the same bucket...
So I am asking you to please help my family back in Tanzania! They need $500 USD to cover all costs. Anything makes a difference and is sooo appreciated. I will be collecting donations here and then sending it all over together.
Thanks everyone xx
