Clean Water Project
Village Green wants to live out Jesus’ kingdom values by fighting poverty and injustice, both locally and globally.
|
In 2010, our global focus will be on providing clean drinking water to people in developing countries where there is a high rate of death and illness due to waterborne disease. We are committed to providing sustainable, participatory, cost-effective water solutions to meet the long-term needs of the community, all in the name of Christ. |

In the context of the adage "Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime." we want to make a lasting impact on communities by helping them to not only obtain clean water filtration systems but also to achieve self-reliance by learning to maintain those systems.
$23,000 to Help Haiti!
In an outpouring of overwhelming generosity, on February 7th 2010, the people of Village Green donated over $13,000 to the Clean Water Project.
Including Canadian government matching funds, over $23,000 was forwarded to the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee to move water filtration systems into Haiti in response to the recent earthquake devastation.
