| Prayer for Benefactors | |
|
Lord, our life, our faith, our family and all that is most precious comes from others. We are able to live our lives for you because others have sacrificed for us. Only by their sacrifices can we continue. Bless our benefactors Lord. May their hands, outstretched to give to others, be filled with your holy gifts. Strengthen them with your power. Aid them in all they do. Free their hearts from sadness; Fill them with joy; Reward them in this life. And at its close, may they receive from your hands a reward exceedingly great. Amen |

Many of the facts and figures surrounding fresh water are astounding: • Some 6,000 children die every day from diseases associated with unsafe water and poor sanitation and hygiene — equivalent to 20 jumbo jets crashing every day. • Unsafe water and sanitation cause an estimated 80% of all diseases in the majority world. • Women and girls tend to suffer the most as a result of the lack of sanitation facilities. • One flush of a Western toilet uses as much water as the average person in the majority world uses for a whole day’s washing, drinking, cleaning and cooking. • Diarrhoeal diseases have killed more children in the past ten years than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II.
