Water for Chilimbe
Maranatha Kids • 4m 54s
This week, walk in the footsteps of the students at the Chilimbe Primary School in Zimbabwe. Each week, these kids have to leave their classrooms during the school day to make multiple trips to collect water. It’s a long walk, and a big interruption to their education. Your children will have the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of others and consider what life would be like without clean water readily accessible.
