SOUL CARE WELL

Would you drink this water? Would you let your child drink this water, let alone fetch this water which is typically over a mile away? More than 24 million people in Uganda lack access to basic drinking water, which is more than 3 in every 5 people. I recently had the privilege of visiting Uganda in July and it impacted my life tremendously. I never fully understood the risk that women and children endured to obtain water. Not only are the water-borne illnesses harmful, but they are also at risk of animal attacks, human attacks, child abductions, drownings and the physical toll of carrying 40lbs of water in extreme weather and terrain. God has led me to take action! Soul Care Candle is partnering with Hope 4 Kids International by fundraising for a deep water borehole (well) to bring safe, clean water to a remote village in the Busia District of Uganda. From now until December 31, 2024 30% of ALL sales are being donated to help fund the Soul Care Well. If you would like to join in the generosity, please click the link below and it will take you to our fundraising page. Thank you and God bless!

This was one of the well dedications that I was able to witness.  I have never experienced such a celebration (or held a chicken) before. An extreme outpour of love and gratitude radiated from our African friends. They truly know Jesus. To be able to help bring water into these villages through H4KI is a cause for celebration! It is customary to present gifts as a sign of gratitude. Shown here is a woman who wanted her children to present me with a chicken as a thank you. I have other stories like this, but this captures the moment perfectly. She is so honored to have her children present the gifts of their family. What a blessing to be able to witness and see the impact of safe, clean water.
