🌍 This Harvest’s Story: Hope from Ethiopia
Meet Waré, a resilient mother of five from southern Ethiopia. She and her husband herd goats in a region that has faced four years of relentless drought. With livestock lost and water scarce, life has become hard. But hope is rising.
CAFOD is working alongside Waré’s community to build an underground water tank—a life-changing project that will provide clean, reliable water even through the toughest dry seasons. This is the story we’ll be sharing this Harvest, and you are a vital part of bringing it to life in your parish communities.
