Moving forward with the water/sanitation project for ARCH!


Kevin Hill visited Buduburam for the first time in October 2007 on a field mission for a fabulous organization called Journalists for Human Rights. He published a story and made a short documentary about ARCH, highlighting the difficulties of a community based project of attaining sustainability. You can watch the movie here, or read the story here.

Kevin just donated a 1800 liter polytank (water tank), which is a huge step forward in implementing the water/sanitation project for ARCH. On behalf of ARCH and The Niapele Project, we wish to thank Kevin for his generosity and continued involvement.

His donation will allow the ARCH family to have a constant supply of clean water, which will make cooking, cleaning and washing much easier - and safer tasks.

Big cheers to Kevin from all of us at Niapele!

A big thanks to Penelope and Celina!

To anyone considering giving a donation to the Abandoned Refugee Children Home - I've been to the camp, met the people in charge and the children who live there.

The people who run ARCH are genuinely selfless people working hard so that these children can grow up with the knowledge that someone cares about them.

Having a place to stay, a bed to sleep in, some food to eat and a chance to go to school are the essential building blocks these children need in life.

Your donation to Niapele gives these kids a chance. It is a realistic way to make a difference in the lives of a few people who need help.
