Give water for harvest, water for life

Churches

WaterAid receives tremendous support from faith groups all around the UK. Although much of our work with faith groups has been with churches we welcome support and interest from all other religious denominations or groups wanting to improve the lives of those in need.

WaterAid has strong links with church organisations overseas and in some cases works in close co-operation with their organisations when delivering its projects. For example WaterAid works with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC) in the Northern region of Ethiopia.

Great ways to get involved

 

There are many ways your faith group can get involved. One example is through a sunday school, like the pupils at Millom and Haverigg Methodist Church who explored WaterAid's learning resources in their church holiday club.

The children made posters with a water theme for a competition, with the minister chosing the the winning poster. On the final day small groups delivered presentation about how WaterAid can help people.

And of course they played lots of games with water and enjoyed getting very wet!

We are always keen to hear from churches interested in raising funds for our work and can provide you with a range of resources and support to help.

To find our ways your church can get involved please contact Victoria on 020 7793 2249 or email us for more information and support materials.
