Food and water shortages in Uganda

Today is World Water Day!  It is not by coincidence that I am posting this blog on such an important issue.  Our body is made up mostly of water.  Not having enough to replenish a human being is unthinkable.

I have personally witnessed incredibly sick and dehydrated children walk miles for clean water in Rwanda and Uganda.  In this article, natives are speaking about the difficulties of finding water in the middle of a terrible drought.  Finding clean water is not even an option at this point... any water will do. 

Please pray for these children that are walking for hours to find water.  Children as young as 5 are very vulnerable during distant trips from their villages.  They can be mugged, raped and have the very water they walked all day to get taken from them.  Please pray for rain to fall and crops to be watered.  Your prayers are very much needed! Please also consider giving to our ministry so that we can continue to build water wells in villages all over Africa.  http://www.pahlow.com/
