West Chester Peace and Social Concerns Committee Presents
Helping Those Who Need Clean Water
The United Nations recently reported that around the world, nearly 1,000 children die every day due to preventable water and sanitation-related diseases. Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world. In our next Concord Quarterly Meeting, we’ll come together to help these families by supporting two NGO’s that have a proven track record in providing water resources to African communities.
After a brief presentation, we will build 25 water filters to go to Wine to Water. We are also fundraising for The Water Project. The committee has set up a donation page at The Water Project’s website. Find out more info by visiting the link here: Concord Quarter Water Project Link
Programs for children and youth, and childcare for the littlest Friends,
available from 8:45 until lunch. All ages are welcome!
The morning for young people will focus on the importance of water and concern for water scarcity. We'll share activities and information from Quaker Earthcare Witness, stories in community, snacks and playing together. The morning program will culminate with young people joining the whole community to build water filters!
