Bring Clean Water to a Community
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, WE BRING CLEAN WATER TO COMMUNITIES that have been hard-hit by disaster or to areas where it is scarce. Our teams do this by providing filtration systems, as well as resources like hygiene training and latrines that help prevent illness. We also have opportunities to share with hurting people that Jesus invites them to joyfully “draw water from the wells of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3). Simeon lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and heard the Gospel through our clean water projects. “Samaritan's Purse revived our hope by sharing God's love,” he said. “I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior.” Your $75 gift will bring clean water to people like Simeon and make it possible for our staff to share the Good News: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

Give a Dairy Goat
LAIHA STRUGGLED TO RAISE THREE CHILDREN ON HER own after her husband died. Some days, she didn't have food for them. Samaritan's Purse is working to help vulnerable women like Laiha develop sources of food and income through agriculture and livestock training. “God brought Samaritan's Purse into my life while I was suffering,” she said. “I can finally feed my children and live with joy.” For $70, you can provide a goat or other dairy animal, along with related training and resources, and restore hope through the Gospel to a family in need. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

Help Put a Stop to Human Trafficking
FOR FAMILIES FROM IMPOVERISHED VILLAGES—where opportunities to earn an income are limited—survival depends on finding a job, even if that means taking the risk of crossing an international border and working for almost nothing. Human trafficking can result in forced labor, exploitation, and violence. In countries like Cambodia and Vietnam, Samaritan's Purse is working to stop the problem before it starts by educating people on the dangers of trafficking. One of our local trainers was mistreated years ago as a result of human trafficking. Now, she is determined to prevent others in her community from suffering the same fate. For $125, you can help Samaritan's Purse protect the vulnerable and share the message of redemption through Christ.

Feed a Family
ARMED CONFLICT FORCED HAFSA* AND HER CHILDREN TO FLEE their village in Sudan. After a grueling journey, they arrived at a displacement camp with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. Hafsa's despair turned to hope when she encountered our team there. We have distributed thousands of food baskets that include enough corn, beans, salt, and oil to sustain a starving family like Hafsa's for three months. Your gift of $35 will feed families in desperate situations across the globe and provide an opportunity to introduce them to Jesus Christ who said, “'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger'” (John 6:35). *Name changed for security

Give a Baby Kit
PHU'S FIRST PREGNANCY WAS LIFETHREATENING and she didn't have anywhere to go for medical care in her rural Vietnamese community. Praise God she survived, and her next pregnancy was much smoother because we support a nearby clinic. She made regular visits to the clinic where we are providing maternal care, such as ultrasounds and prenatal vitamins, to help ensure a safe labor and delivery for mother and baby. We are also giving expectant mothers a kit with critical items for a newborn including clothing and diapers. For $75, we can provide mothers like Phu with many important things to help their babies grow healthy and strong. As we offer physical aid, we remind women of God's promise to be their “refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”(Psalm 46:1).

Provide Life-Saving Medical Care
MILLIONS OF SUDANESE HAVE FLED VIOLENT CONFLICT, escaping with nothing and often walking for days to reach safety. Gedaref, Sudan, is one of the areas where many people have settled. Samaritan's Purse set up an Emergency Field Hospital there and demonstrated God's love by caring for displaced women and children. Our team provided life-saving obstetric and pediatric care that otherwise would have been inaccessible. Malik experienced complications after delivering her first child but “the whole team took care of me,” she said. “I always wanted to be a mother. I'm overwhelmed by happiness.” Your $100 gift provides critical medical care and opportunities to share the steadfast love of Christ in places stricken with conflict, natural disaster, or disease.
