Village Redemption Project

Water is the source of life, growth, health, and community resilience. With this in mind, Friends of Madagascar Mission (FOMM) asks your help in publicizing The Village Redemption Project. We aim to dig 300 wells in southwestern Madagascar, a region that is in the fifth year of a severe drought. Major rivers having dried up--a humanitarian crisis is coming to village after village if clean drinking water is not provided. FOMM has conducted research in the field over the past 12 months and deployed a professional hydrological investigative team to the region to prioritize areas for the location of wells with assistance provided by the local communities as to location of wells. FOMM also has local partners with advanced exploratory technology and drilling rigs who have made preparations for developing wells and identified specific villages for the project to begin.

To raise the funds required to dig 300 wells, we need your help in advising us if you are aware of any relevant grants. Perhaps your congregation has an endowment, or another means of making funds available. However, grants take time to process, and time is one thing in short supply for people without water, so we are asking you as an individual to make a donation of any size at this time.

Friends of Madagascar Mission (FOMM) is a volunteer mission organization with no paid employees and a guarantee of sending “100 cents on the dollar” for all gifts to its projects.
