Dear Supporters, We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to The PEF's generous contributions towards digging a water well for the women farmers of Ouda village. Your support has truly made a significant impact on the lives of these hardworking individuals and their entire community.

We cannot emphasize enough the profound difference your donations have made. Through your kindness and compassion, you have brought hope and positive change to a community that greatly needed it.
