Donations from Lent Lunches

Donations from Lent Lunches this year have been used to provide a village well in Kenya.  Digging and constructing a 100ft. well with clean, fresh water in a rural Kenyan village will make a huge difference to so many lives.  With no clean water nearby, it falls to women and girls to walk miles to the nearest river -- often repeating the journey several times a day.  But a well in the village means that women can work and contribute to their family's income, while girls can go to school regularly and get a good education that will help them get a job in the future. 

Many thanks to all who contributed in any way.
