Haiti Water Project

There are 8 million people in Haiti, & it is estimated that up to 60% of them do not have access to clean drinking water.  The estimated cost to dig a well is $2,000 -$5,000 U.S. The cost to build cisterns in areas where wells aren’t feasible is around $1,000. And since the Haiti Water Project is ultimately more about people than projects, here’s another way to do the math: It costs about $1 to provide clean water for one person for one year in Haiti

You can contribute to the Haiti Water Project through Ekklesia (just write Haiti Water Project in the memo line of a check), & Ekklesia will provide you with a “gift card” that you can give to your loved one. (there are a couple of examples of the cards below) 

You might also want to purchase a $5 ornament or $15 nativity set made by Haitian artists providing them with a fare wage & you or your loved one with an ornament to remember the poor of Haiti with each year.  If you want an ornament or nativity set (and havent signed up for one yet) you can email me or just sign up Sunday Night.  You can make checks for the ornaments out to Ekklesia and just put "Haiti ornament" in the memo line.
