My name is Asiki Agele, 40 years, a peasant farmer, a father of 7, living in Godria Awu village. Godria is a one of the villages with a unique and loving group of people in DR Congo. The people living in this village are very much marginalized when it comes to clean water, we drink from unprotected spring and streams. Typhoid, diarrhea, stomach ache, skin rushes are very common due to the dirty water we use in homes.

In the side of medication, we spend about 200,000shillings on medication. We borrow money and sometimes one sells the available animals to pay the bills.
“Agele declares that, the problem of access to clean water has harmfully affected the social life of many families.”

Nevertheless, with the response for clean water access by feat Africa at house hold level through the use of the biosand filters, my family with the community of Godria will be different. Ailments got from drinking dirty water will reduce. I believe, I will not suffer from typhoid regularly like before, and I will be able to care for my family.

I got information on the biosand filters from during a training on clean and safe water access in our homes done in our church by humanitarian workers from Feat Africa, and I immediately requested for one.
I will be able to save money for other activities in the future and it will help us to save enough for the family and educate the children.

“I am proud for feat Africa for the support by giving us clean and better ways of drinking safe water for our homes and Godria Village. May God bless you and we pray you continue to support our people, says Agele.”

My name is grace Jula, 56 years. Fualwonga is where I worship. I was very happy when I was selected to be among the people to undergo the discipleship making movement in fualwonga parish organized by feat Africa a faith based organization working in Pakwach district.

Before the call for the training, I work in my church as a women leader where I felt still my faith was not strengthen much but with the in depth teaching on the scriptures of Christ Jesus, the that lived full of worldly adoring will come to an end and instead live  to praise God as a Christian.

The training made me understand the bible very well and also taught me how to preach the gospel to the world in fulfilment of the scriptures. I now feel nourished with the holy gospel of Christ Jesus our savior. At my age now, I wish to worship and prays my God through evangelizing the good news of Christ to the world. With the knowledge I have got, I now plan to go and participate fully in a door to door evangelism program in my village.

“With the fruit of faith Feat Africa has offered through fualwonga church, we shall go out to the world and bring to God the lost sheep that are out there. Says Jula.”

This is the time we will use to give direction to the youth in our church to know Christ as their personal savior. I pray God gives us the strength to fulfill his calling our church.

“We thank you feat Africa for the initiative to empower us with word of God through the discipleship movement making training. We pray that you do the same to other people in our communities. Says Jula.”
