Well Project

Dear Supporters: Currently, Ivan & Ivon Charities is pursuing a well project in Afikpo, Nigeria. This is a region in the Ebonyi state which has no clean water, is infested with the Malaria mosquito, has poor farming land, and has a very low survival rate. Our charity is trying to collaborate and connect with the local government of Afikpo to get approval for our well project. A bore hole well is the only option for clean water for thousands of people in the villages in Afikpo.
I stayed in Afikpo for a month and saw first hand how the need for clean water, treated Malaria nets, better fertilized land, and much more. Although the people of Afikpo are very joyful, they have many basic needs that are not being met but they are making the best of it.
Please come along side us and help. Send your donations to:
Ivan & Ivon Charities P.O. Box 1517, Discovery Bay, CA 94505-2231
