Christmas 2014
Six Years of Merry Christmases
Six years ago, Georgina and her family received a BioSand filter (home water purification system), and we featured her in our SoHIP video. This past summer, Kirk Schauer, our International Director, caught up with Georgina and her family. Thanks in part to the clean water from their BioSand filter, they’ve been able to enjoy six healthy Christmases together, celebrating Christ’s birth and the hope He brings to the world. Hopefully, they can look forward to many more.
To date, Seeds of Hope International Partnerships has used donor-designated funds to install over 7,500 BioSand filters in homes just like Georgina’s. Through new water wells, repaired hand pumps, and BioSand filters, more than 650,000 people in Zambia will be able to celebrate a healthy Christmas this year—and it’s because of the giving hearts of people just like you. Your one-time or monthly contribution can make a world of difference in the futures of countless more like Georgina. Consider donating today by visiting sohip.org/donations.
During this Christmas season, our thoughts turn gratefully toward those who have brought hope to communities in Africa. Thank you, and may your holidays—and this coming year—be blessed with God’s joy and hope.
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
