MAKE A DIFFERENCE
TO OUR PARTNERS AND FRIENDS WE THANK YOU We thank you so much for your kind consideration to partner with us this year! We are committed to improve the environment in the developing world by creating sustainable solutions. Our vision is to see lives changed through the simple gifts of clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH1), but we need your help! Every day millions of young children around the world go out looking for their family’s water, but instead what they find is making their families sick. Lets change this statistic! I am writing to share with you our goal to help provide nearly 1,000 people with the gift of clean water for the year of 2016! We are personally asking you to join us and help sponsor the children and families of Soweto. Soweto is a community that has a total estimated population of around 4,000 – 5,000 people. It is a slum situated outside of Jinja, Uganda and the common work of the people there is fishing and they live on less than $1/day. Currently we are working alongside the community of Soweto providing them with clean water and education of sanitation and hygiene, our WaSH1 program. We are also building relationships within Soweto, encouraging each one with hope and supporting their dreams. (http://www.igivehope.org).
OUR GOAL IS TO EMPOWER SOWETO TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. When we visit a home we take the opportunity to not only share knowledge but to allow families to take the initiative to help reduce sickness and disease. We encourage them to become Health Ambassadors and share what they learn with their neighbors. More importantly, we also invest our time building relationships. There are many families throughout Soweto that are struggling with addictions and strongholds. We take every opportunity to give council and prayer to everyone we encounter. We believe that real change will only happen when the hearts of these people are healed.
WE BELIEVE IN SOWETO! Each family who receives support has a goal of becoming a Certified Healthy Home. Once a home has been certified, we then give that family the ability to share their knowledge with their neighbors. Our long-term goal is for the community of Soweto to become sustainable. We will do this by encouraging them to pay their own water bills and to reach out and educate other communities about sanitation and hygiene. 2 (See Diagram 1)

1. WaSH is the collective term for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Due to their interdependent nature, these three core issues are grouped together to represent a growing sector. While each a separate field of work, each is dependent on the presence of the other. For example, without toilets, water sources become contaminated; without clean water, basic hygiene practices are not possible. (http://www.unicef.org/wash/index_3952.html) 2. The diagram shows the chains that create the pathway for germs to get inside of us. For example: feces can enter nearby stream where you bathe your children and then as result they get sick. Photos bellow show community members of Soweto coming together learning how to break these chains!

OUR MONTHLY BUDGET FOR CURRENT PROGRAMS – SOWETO - JINJA, UGANDA
In order for the work to continue, we need an increase in the number of our Sponsorships. We need a pledge of $25/month from 28 donors, which is a total financial goal of $8,400 for the year. Not only will this pledged amount help the people of Soweto, it will also help neighboring towns and communities. These pledges will help support those in the field with transportation, WaSH handbooks, discipleship and counseling programs. It’s vital that we keep these resources available to the community leaders so that they are engaged as advocates for i GIVE H2OPE.
