Should not clean drinking water be a right for all of us?

Recently there was a cholera epidemic in Kotido Catholic Diocese, UGANDA caused by ponds similar to the one on here being polluted by excrement. Over five hundred people were infected and many died.

Mill Hill Missionaries have asked us to help fund 25 more boreholes which will cost just over £120,000 – A lot of money in this time of recession but insignificant compared to the cost in human terms to the local families.

SPICMA has already funded a total of thirty boreholes in the Diocese in 2008/9 but in an area about half the size of Wales with 650,000 souls, many more boreholes are needed and with your continued assistance SPICMA hopes to achieve this.

Your generosity is helping an entire community to have clean water and to be healthy
