CHARITY

Sovereign Charitable Sponsorship

For our charitable project for 2011 we are working with A Glimmer of Hope.

We are supporting a community development program that will be implemened in the village of Kushet, Ethiopia. This is an extremely remote village in the Dawro zone and has such great need. At this time the 6,000+ members of the village have ZERO access to safe water. The women travel over 1/2 a mile to filthy, unprotected, contaminated springs to gather water for their families. The video above was captured by an Addis staff members while traveling to the village.
