Zimi pumping water at the borehole near her school
“Water is a precious gift. It should be shared by all the people on earth”
says Zimi, aged 10 and from Zimbabwe.
Such wise words at such a young age.
Our Lent newsletter has all the information you need to support CAFOD’s Fast Day appeal and please hold people like Zimi in your prayers as you “Give it up! for water this Lent.

This Lent your generosity is being recognised by the UK Government. With UK Aid Match Funding they will match £1 for £1 every donation given to CAFOD. So for every £1 you given between 17 February and 17 May, CAFOD will receive an extra £1 to help even more of the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged people.
The newsletter also includes details of sponsored events taking place over the next couple of months – so if you fancy the 110ft abseil from Harlow Water Tower, or the bike ride through Lea Valley, take a look at the newsletter or email brentwood@cafod.org.uk or call 020 8502 9722 for full information.
