Gifts to Africa
ALMC School of Nursing Scholarship
In the Monduli region of Tanzania, Africa, there is an exciting project going on. A group of Maasai women who have recently been baptized decided they would build their own church to worship in together. They have been working on this project with their bare hands for over three years now with limited finances and supplies. We have helped them with funds for a roof, window frames and doors, but they are not finished yet.

Simple Water Well
Access to safe water is essential to addressing poverty and health problems. Safe water is used for everything from drinking to crop production. Tanzania is arid with a long dry season, meaning that access to safe water is difficult. Your gift will provide safe water for people in Tanzania to lessen disease, improve sanitation, create better farming practices, and build sustainable communities.
