It helps supply safe water to people of Tanzania and Honduras. Sister Water Project has built more than 450 wells in Tanzania and more than 45 water systems in Honduras. All work is done by volunteers from the villages. The sisters do not charge for administration\, so 100% of donations are designated for the projects. First Sunday donations will be used to build a well in Tanzania. The cost of a well is $5\,500. Wouldn’t it be grand to have a well in Tanzania with “DMIEC” written on it? \nFor more information\, visit  https://osfdbq.org/sisterwaterproject/\nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St Francis” or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line. \nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St. Francis” or “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.  \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE December 8th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O.
