Praise from UNICEF Official!

 
UNICEF official, Ato Mequanint Ejigu, visited his home village and discovered his sister had a new conrete "The work you have done has changed not only the day-to-day life, but also the attitudes. People refuse to sit on dust floors. People refuse to drink unhygienic water. Just because of these small changes, word has spread and people are not content  There are psychological, behavioral and cognitive changes to my community and the word has spread like wildfire to villages more than 100 km away.  There is transformation.  This is a living, practical, exemplory work."
 
 

100% of your dollar goes to benefit schools and villages.
