Care For Life Progress

It's hard to believe that in the Villages that are participating in the Family Preservation Program, diarrhea, cholera, and other preventable health issues have virtually disappeared.  As a result the death rate has decreased.   It's a great feeling as we walk through these communities to know that children are not dying and families have hope for the future.  Having improved water conditions makes it easier for families to sustain good hygiene practices, decreasing the incidence of diseases.  Many people do not have access to wells and travel a great distance to get their water to do their chores.  In some communities their water is supplied from a hole in the ground which leaves their water contaminated and unsuitable to drink.  With Care for Life's help wells are prepared and lines with brick to prevent them from caving in during the rainy season.  This provides the family with clean water for many years to come.  And that, my friend, makes my heart happy.
