Father's Day Card: $10 Cost of a Well: $400 Malawi, AFRICA
Marion Medical Mission Shallow Well Project Malawi, Africa Marion Medical Mission seeks to share the love of Christ with the extreme poor in Africa by providing all in need with a sustainable source of clean, safe drinking water. Marion Medical Mission is an ecumenical, Christian, front-line, hands-on, volunteer, non-profit organization that responds to Christ’s call to serve by working hand in hand with God’s people in Africa. We show the love of Christ through projects that directly impact the African people, stressing self-help and sustainability. The way that a Shallow Well is funded visually represents the horizontal partnership between the villagers and donors. MMM only provides what the villagers can’t. Their involvement creates a sense of ownership and responsibility. The Well building process takes roughly two weeks once the materials have been gathered. The village provides most of the unskilled labor while an MMM-trained builder makes sure that the well is built to the proper specifications. |
