Providing Safe Water for Poor Families

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our initiative providing water for poor families. Our water system initiatives include developing mountain sources such as springs and rivers, harvesting rainwater using containers as well as protecting watersheds and water sources. Water is becoming scarce due to climate change and lack of trees to hold rainwater runoff and the need to conserve water is important. During this reporting period, we did an assessment in the mountain villages in order to improve water sources by engaging small farmers to grow trees and then nurture the trees that they grow. The problem with tree growing in the past is that trees planted are not taken cared of and they disappear. Money is lost in this manner. This reporting period we are able to survey 3 mountain villages in order to look for areas to conduct our tree growing activities. Your support in much needed. Thank you very much.

Very truly yours,

Cora Sayre

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative providing safe water to poor farming families. During this reporting period we are happy to inform you that we are selecting the improvement of local water sources by the promotion of agro-reforestation or the planting of food and tree crops as well as the raising of animals in order also to improve the income and livelihoods of upland inhabitants. The failure of past water enhancement activities in the past is that water sources are not protected and enhanced resulting to massive flooding and siltation and poverty both in the upland areas and the lowlands. We are able to assist 75 farmers during this reporting period and we hope to increase our reach in the coming months. Hoping for your continuing support to this initiative. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre
