City Provides Grant for Wells
A grant from the City of Charlottetown will allow construction to begin on three wells in Mikinduri, Kenya. In its annual budget, the City allocated $10,000 to the MIkinduri Children of Hope.
“When you see how much we have in a city like Charlottetown, and how much we take for granted, it’s impossible not to be generous to those who have so little,â€said Mayor Clifford Lee, “ It’s easy to look at the problems in Africa and feel overwhelmed. But this is a concrete way the people of our community can really make a difference.”
Each of the three wells will be named in recognition of the City of Charlottetown’s contribution. City Council will choose the names at an upcoming meeting. Plaques will be affixed to the wells when a group from the Maritimes travels to Mikinduri in November.
