Because of you and matched funds, BTG has given $521,000 in nearly 7 years. This money has given safe water, sanitation and training in hygiene to 14,885 people for life in developing countries. Water is the foundation of every village, then comes the growing of crops, health, education, and micro-enterprises. People begin to thrive instead of just surviving.

evangelical free’s vacation bible school
Bridging the Gap was privileged to once again share about our thirsty world. Every day the children at Evangelical Free’s Vacation Bible School went home and did chores around the home to earn money which they donated for clean water. The children raised $1,249. The children were very creative raising money...one little girl gave her papa a pedicure!
