Shalom Mishpocha (Family)
We have an urgent request. The orphanage in Migori, Kenya has a serious palatable water problem. Their wells have dried up and they cannot dig them any deeper having already hit bedrock. They need to drill a borehole to tap into a safe water supply for the children. Ellen and I personally paid for an engineer to secure the necessary permits and determine the best location to drill. The cost of this preliminary work was close to $2000.00 U.S. which we took care of, but there is an additional cost for the drilling - $75.00 U.S. per meter. The engineer estimated that they will have to drill down 180 meters so as to get a sufficient supply of fresh, clean, safe drinking water; something we all take for granted when we turn on the faucet in our homes. Ellen and I cannot receive donations, we are not a charitable organization and any money we collect becomes personal taxable income. However, we have worked out a way for you to send money for this worthy project direcly to the orphanage, if God places it upon your heart to help. We set up a PayPal account for the orphanage; however, you will need your own PayPal account to donate and pay into it. Opening a PayPal account is very quick and easy. Once you do so you can send your donations through your personal PayPal account to:
The total cost of the project is approximately $17,000.00 U.S. We have already raised $6,000.00 U.S. and are now trusting God to work through the generosity of His children for the balance. We will be monitoring all the donations, ensuring they are used for the purpose sent, so once you donate let us know when you sent it and if in U.S. or CDN dollars. Sorry but no tax receipts can be issued.
We have attached pictures and a short video of how they are collecting their water at present.
May God Bless you in Yeshua, our Lord, our God, our soon coming King.
Rabbi Jack & Ellen
