My personal message:

Hello!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our web page.   We greatly appreciate any support you might be able to offer in this effort to save thousands of lives by simply providing clean water with a new deep water well in Twachiyanda, Zambia.   And, remember, The House of Amore & Fede is going to match your support by sending you a $10 Shopping Certificate for every $10 you donate.  100% of the proceeds go directly to World Vision in this life saving mission. 

29000STEPS was created just two years ago and was based on the 29,000 Children who die every single day, most from preventable causes.  Today with the support and compassion of people like you who have helped provide life saving water, malaria nets, medication ect., 3000 fewer children are dying every single day!  That is 1,095,000 fewer children each year!   Impoverished people living in Twachiyanda, Zambia suffer from a high rate of diarrhea and other waterborne diseases because there are not enough sources of clean water. Family members can spend several hours each day walking miles to the closest water source that is usually muddy and filled with disease. The time this takes can cause children to miss school or take a parent away from caring for their family. The diseases from unclean water cause health problems and even death for many children.  We can change this!

Last year we raised enough to provide one deep water well in Niger.  This year our goal is to raise enough to build two deep water wells in Twachiyanda. These wells will provide clean, refreshing water for an entire community. Clean water will help children to be healthy enough to attend school, or a parent to spend more time caring for their family or run a business to bring in precious income.

This year, The House of Amore and Fede is sponsoring the 29000STEPS walk with it's matched shopping certificate program. 

On April 26th, Kim, Lisa and Debbie along with a team of other participants will b walking 26,000 steps...instead of 29,000 (that's 2 less laps around the mall!) in an effort to build two wells.  This walk represents the 26,000 children who are dying every day, most from preventable causes. 

Please give generously. Your gift will help change the lives of children living in desperate need. Donating through this site is simple, safe, and totally secure.

Thank you your compassion & your financial support.  We will be alerted of your donation and will contact you for your address to send your shopping certificates out with in 5-10 days. 

With His Love,

Kim, Lisa, Debbie

The House of Amore & Fede
