Story

Walk for Water is a challenge to walk and raise money for those who do not have access to water. The Our Lady of Lourdes CMAT is going on a Virtual Pilgrimage throughout Lent to support CAFOD's Walk for Water Campaign and we would like to invite YOU to get involved too!

Please sponsor us as we walk to help those in need. You can information and resources for our Virtual Pilgrimage on our Trust Chaplaincy Website via this link: https://www.beinspirational.co.uk/olol-virtual-pilgrimage-lets-walk-for-water-with-cafod/

We will be raising money for people like Abdella. Abdella is 23 and has been walking for water daily since he was 10 or 11 years old. Abdella lives in Afar, Ethiopia - one of the hottest places on earth. Like hundreds of people in the area, he spends most of every day getting water for his family. With a water point nearer his home, Abdella's family would no longer have to worry about getting enough to stay alive. And Abdella could start on the dreams he has for the rest of his life. So please get involved so that CAFOD local experts can give communities like Abdella's the support they need to have access to this life giving resource.
