Abdella lives in an extremely remote and mountainous part of Ethiopia. It takes him ten hours a day to collect water. He says his life is being wasted as he has no time for anything else. Give today to reach vulnerable communities around the world with water and to provide other vital support.
This week our parish is marking CAFOD’s Family Fast Day, a day on which we are invited to pray, fast and give to help people like Abdella. Abdella lives in an extremely remote and mountainous part of Ethiopia. It takes him ten hours a day to collect water. He says: “I am wasting my life. I am a young man; I should be doing something else.” Your gifts today will help vulnerable communities around the world have access to clean water and provide other vital support. You can donate online through the CAFOD website at cafod.org.uk/give
