GLOBAL HOPE URGENT NEED
Dear Global Hope Friends,
One of Global Hope’s mission partners in Kenya, the Hope for Orphans Rescue Centre (HOREC), has an urgent need for funds to repair their water tower. The water tower has a bend in one of the main metal bars and it has caused the water tank to crack at the bottom. The repair will require the demolition of the whole top base and installation of a new top base. They will replace all the support bars plus extend the surface area and ladder to enable easy access to the top base of the water tower. Access to clean drinking water is essential to the health of the children and staff at HOREC, and their neighbors are also dependent on this valuable resource.
The estimated cost of the repairs is $2,000.
