Simon broke his hand trying to get clean water
Peace Makers, Build A Better Us, Safari
Hello Peace Makers,
Dear Peace Makers,
Simon is five years old.
Yesterday, he broke his hand trying to collect water from the river.
That’s what it’s come to—children risking their safety just to drink.
The clean water pump in the village is broken. Flooding from the rainy season has made everything worse—mattresses are soaked, blankets unusable, and illnesses like malaria are spreading fast.
Simon’s injury is heartbreaking. But it’s also a wake-up call.
Right now, we need to raise $3,500 to:
Repair the water well, so Simon and others never have to fetch water from a dangerous river
Provide dry, safe beds and blankets
Deliver emergency supplies to protect the kids as the rains continue
Simon shouldn't have to suffer for something as basic as water.
None of the children should.
We count on your support in moments like this. And right now, we need you more than ever.
With urgency and deep gratitude,
BJ Thompson
