Every year, ELPC Church School students of all ages participate in an offering to support an organization whose work aligns with our church’s mission. This year, we will be supporting the Navajo Water Project.
More than 150 years ago, the Navajo and many other tribes signed treaties with the federal government, ceding their land in exchange for funding of things like housing, infrastructure, and health care. But for decades that hasn’t happened.
The Navajo Water Project is a community-managed utility alternative that brings hot and cold running water to homes without access to water or sewer lines by installing off-grid water systems. But their impact doesn’t stop there. They’re also investing in septic systems, skilled job creation, and grants for individuals and communities who are solving their own water challenges through the Water is Life Fund. Learn more at NavajoWaterProject.org.
Our Church School offering will support the Navajo Water Project—so that we might address injustice and bring safe water to Navajo families. You can participate by donating in person (via cash or check) or online, noting it’s for the “Church School Offering/Navajo Water Project.”
