Help save lives in the impoverished villages of Malawi!
This spring, the stakes are perilously high: Disastrous droughts in southern Africa have triggered a hunger crisis for millions in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. In Villages in Partnership’s 29 partner villages, the drought has caused failed crops and widespread hunger.
In response, VIP has dedicated their 2024 Water Walk fund-raiser on Saturday, May 4, to bringing clean water to the villages, not just for drinking, but to irrigate farmers’ fields to replant and replace the crops lost to drought.
Walk with Us! Join the Nassau Church Water Walkers who walk to raise funds to bring clean water to Malawi, both during the VIP Water Walk on May 4 in Allentown, NJ, and in the weeks leading up to the Water Walk in their own neighborhoods. For information, contact Liz Beasley (email) or Larry Alphs (email).

Our church mission partner, Villages in Partnership (VIP) is hosting its annual Water Walk fundraiser on Saturday, May 13. I am writing to invite you to join our Nassau Church Water Walkers team to make a life-changing and life-saving difference in the impoverished villages of Malawi.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy and a recent cholera outbreak have made access to clean water even more critical for the people of Malawi. The lack of clean water and sanitation facilities is a leading cause of cholera outbreaks and other waterborne diseases. Additionally, access to water allows girls to stay in school longer, which opens huge opportunities for their futures.
This year the VIP Water Walk will be a hybrid event: we can gather in-person or online on May 13th and reach out across the country and the world to ask people to participate – last year there were 31 Water Walk teams from as far as AZ, CO, CT, TX, IL, VA, PA, and even a team in Malawi!
Joining the Nassau Church Water Walkers team means:
Reaching out to your network of friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors with the opportunity to bring clean water, sanitation facilities, and healthcare to the most remote villages by making a donation. We have an online fundraising platform that makes it easy for others to give.
Joining the Water Walk event happening on May 13th, either in Allentown NJ or online.
