Kahidlaw (Longing)
Spoken in different tongues, the word captures a feeling that most of us in this pandemic have experienced.   In search of this, we stumble on the idea of happiness that many would consider as something unattainable.
But wisdom across cultures proves that there is a cure to this phenomenon - a not-so-secret secret to healing this "longing."

Clean water is more than it seems. Access to clean water means healthy and uplifted communities, educated children, and empowered women and girls. Clean water means restored dignity and hope for a brighter future. For just $10, you can give one person the gift of clean water–and everything that comes with it.
THIS IS PART OF THE 2021 campaign to fund clean water for those in need.  RAISING $20,000 will allow THIS COMMUNITY to build 4 new wells in rural communities in East Africa. 
All donations MADE a difference!
