Mozambique Well Project Mozambique is one of the the poorest
countries in the world. The United Nations estimates that more
than 150 of every 1000 children born in Mozambique die before
the age of five, the largest reason being lack of water or poor
water quality. In Mozambique an estimated 57 percent of the
rural population does not have access to potable water. Garry
Berndt works with Maranatha Volunteers International drilling
public water wells for rural Mozambique communities over about
three years. These wells will provide access to life giving
water, allowing women freedom to follow other pursuits without
walking miles every day. The fresh water will revitalize
villages and improve health for people of all ages. The Curry
Stone Foundation is partially funding this project. For
additional information about the scope and progress of this
project consult Maranatha Volunteers International, a Seventh-
day Adventist non-profit organization. Photo: Garry Berndt by
