Upper SC awarded UTO grant for ministry in Haiti

Bishop Henderson presented World Mission Committee member Earl Burch with a $63,000 United Thank Offering (UTO) grant that will support our diocese's  ministry in Cange, Haiti, and environs—a ministry which has been active for nearly 30 years.

The money will go toward the building of a water treatment station which will filter and sterilize with UV light the entire water supply for the village of Cange. This is one piece of the Bread and Water Project currently under way in our diocese, a project the completion of which is crucial if the original water system, built by Upper South Carolinians in the early 1980s, is to be restored and expanded to support the growing population.

If the water system fails, the area will face a humanitarian crisis of major proportions. Thanks to the UTO grant, we are closer to averting disaster, but we're not there yet. Your generous gift to the Bread and Water Project will help save the day. Make a donation today!
