Day 7 - Access to Clean and Safe Water

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19

Access to safe and clean drinking water is essential to many aspects of everyday life. But for people living in the poorest of the poor countries across Africa the water is often dirty and contaminated by animals or unsafe minerals, leading to water-borne illnesses like typhoid and cholera. Pray for clean water sources to become available, and that God will make a way for His people. Where people have no choice but to drink dirty water, pray for God’s divine protection on their lives. Pray for Hands at Work to develop good partnerships with those who are providing clean water.

In Toyota Community in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Community Based Organisation has access to a water tap that is not far from the Life Centre building. The challenge in this area is that many people rely on this water source, but because the water only runs at certain times in the day, there is often a line of people waiting to collect their water. Despite these challenges, 14-year-old Mwete offers to help the Care Workers collect the water they need for the day. He is a positive example to many of the other children.
