Singing to raise money for Water Aid

Singing to raise money for Water Aid

Fr Arthur Nearey and the parisoners of St Mary’s RC Church, Littleborough got together on Sunday the 16 September for a sponsored hymn singing to raise money for WaterAid who are currentley doing a big dig in Malawi to put an end to water poverty.

All the money raised will be matched by the government.

WaterAid has been working in Malawi since 1999 and works in partnership with district governments, a local non governmental organisation (NGO), a church-based organisation and a public water company.

WaterAid is concentrating on rehabilitating existing water systems in Malawi rather than building new ones. They help communities to set up water and sanitation committees which have responsibility for the overall management of water projects.
