Hope Spot 34 – Need a sensational smile today?
Etagegne has something to smile about…
The impact of water is life-changing.
You can see the impact in Etagegne’s sensational smile in the photo below. If you look closely, you’ll see the ALWS logo on the LWF worker’s shirts. This shows how close you are to the people you help!
There are another 223 farm families just like Etagegne’s that are ready to access water.
Water brings life. Farmers can grow better crops, make a greater income, and provide more for their families.
Will you join me today and help a family access water?
HELP A FAMILY TODAY
Thank you for thoughtfully considering the impact you can make with a donation to Ethiopia.

“Amongst life’s trials,
a simple act of kindness
feels like a sunbeam piercing the storm.It reminds us that care exists even in chaos.”
Thank you,
PS: Your donation (ideally by Friday 27 September) to helping complete the last section of the 635 metres irrigation channel will help more families like Etagegne’s overcome poverty! Thank you!
