Human Right to Safe Drinking Water as Addressed by Pope Francis

Pope Francis addressed the Vatican Conference on February 24, on the human right to safe and good quality water. Please click this link for his address.

The Connecting Hearts and Hands with Peru, a Catholic Christian committee at St. Paul Parish in Genesee, WI,  is working with a school in Paita, Peru, run by the School Sisters of St. Francis.

There has been a natural disaster in the state of Piura, Peru, due to the rains and flooding. See prior posts on this blog.  We have been asked to provide Berkey water purifiers, to families in this region.

Please read the blogpost "Go Fund Me Fundraiser for Water Purification" below to donate to this awesome fundraiser. This fundraiser is trying to raise money for water purifiers. We were hoping this fundraiser would raise $2,500 and provide 25-30 Berkey water purifiers.

I have good news. A donor has come forward and will match this GO FUND ME fundraiser, up to $2,500. If this fundraiser raises $2,500, we will have $5,000, enough money to buy 50-60 Berkey systems. 

Please pray for a successful fundraiser!
