Federation Charity 2018-2021

The Charity project for the three years 2018-2021 was to provide funding towards the building of a high school for girls in a village in Nigeria.

This work was underway when the Covid pandemic intervened.  Since then problems have developed following some local opposition and it was decided to put this project on hold for safety reasons.

                                    The African Well Project in   Kitenda, Congo.

The African Photovoltian Project (APP) produces electricity, purifies water and provides internet technology and has provided access to secure water in 16 countries in Africa in the last 20 years.

Water is presenting a global challenge for survival.  The challenges come from both rising sea levels and raging floods but in the Congo the water issue is the LACK of water.   They need to dig deep to secure access to the deep water under the soil.

The project we are supporting is in Kitenda Congo.  The sisters and workmen have worked hard to complete the first part of the project which has been completed and activated. The first part was providing one spout for water with piping, pumps and filters powered by solar energy to purify the water which comes under the soil from the river. 

There is always more to do.  Sr Lorraine Connell has been in contact with the engineer and the details of the future project which is very detailed and expensive.  They want to develop and install a water supply for community access and to community members, women, children and families living in poverty.   They would welcome our participation.
