Since that sweet group of kids went to be with Jesus from Kaisi Oriental in DRC, from lack of clean water- I have been praying how to help. Then World Vision Catalog answered sweetly.
you can donate anonymously if you need to. But know, SOMEONE is going to have clean water and a new well!!!
Pass on, repost, speak for those who need spoken for. Take care of the widow and the orphan. Clean water is a gift we too often take for granted.

Dysentery: 31 Orphans Died from Unclean Water
About 2 months ago we started working with a new orphanage in the middle of DRC. We were connected to this orphanage through our attorney who was connected to them through mutual acquaintances. We were well aware that the situation at the orphanage was more extreme than orphanages you typically see in Kinshasa due to a more significant lack of access to needed resources - food, water, and medicine. Children at the orphanage generally come into care even more malnourished and unhealthy than usually seen in Kinshasa. After many conversations with the orphanage directors and our attorney, we moved forward with placing 7 truly orphaned children for adoption and provided some humanitarian aid for the other children to help improve the level of care they were receiving (such as more food with higher amounts of protein, cleaning supplies, and clothes/shoes). About a month ago, we received word that 2 children died, possibly from dysentery. We offered to cover medical expenses for any children that were ill and the 5 children that were sick received antibiotics and recovered. About a week and a half ago we were told that the dysentery may be turning into an epidemic.
5 days later 31 of the 52 children at the orphanage had died.
