Kids Empowering Kids VBS Mission Project 2022 - Water for Tanzania by Concordia Supply
Drilling wells is one of the most sustainable ways to provide clean water. Each new drilled well project requires $15,000 in donations and a well rehabiliation requires $10,000. Each project serves an average of 1,000 people. So for about $15, you can provide sustainable, clean drinking water, WASH Training, and community empowerment for 1 person. No more long trips to collect water and no more getting sick from dirty water.
Our Goal for 2022

- 5 new wells at $15,000 each

Learn More About Empowering Lives International (ELI)
ELI is Christian not-for-profit ministry working in several countries in East Africa. The Tanzania ministry is located just outside of Mwanza in the Lake Victoria Water Basin where water scarcity is a major problem. The struggle has been children unable to attend schools and mothers unable to run successful small businesses. Why? Because too many required to fetch and boil potable water takes too long and frequent sickness from drinking contaminated water. When presented with this struggle, individuals like yourself have responded so that reliable, professional and affordable water solutions could be provided.
Through your help, ELI launched Mighty Men Well Drilling in 2013. The name “Mighty Men” was inspired by King David’s Mighty Men in 2 Samuel 23, who after standing firm, risking their lives, and trusting God amidst the battle, “the Lord worked a great victory” (v.12). The Mighty Men Drillers are a local Tanzanian business operated using Christian values and partnering with ELI to provide physical and living water to their local communities. Since 2013, ELI and the Mighty Men Drillers have drilled over 50 water wells in Tanzania.
With a focus on empowering young people and combined with your efforts, the local communities believe transformation is possible. Everyone is motivated by seeing many local schools and villages start to access the clean water and practice good hygiene and sanitation to reduce the spread of diseases.
