Grace Community Church, Blackburn supporting:

TURN ON THE TAP is a campaign for safe accessible water for people in the developing world. Through a range of solutions from hand dug wells, water filters and boreholes to health and hygiene education, we are providing safe, clean water and helping to break the grip of poverty on local communities.
Families are getting safe water to drink. Communities are improving health and sanitation. Children who would otherwise spend all day fetching water are now going to school. Lives are being saved. This challenging project is run by Samaritan’s Purse, a non-profit, Christian organisation, which provides church support, emergency relief and development assistance to suffering people around the world. In all our activities we aim to provide hope to communities in desperate need, and through this to show God’s love and compassion in many real and practical ways.
The TURN ON THE TAP campaign has already raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help communities access safe water. But STILL, 1.1 billion people live without access to safe water. It's an outrage!
Grace Community Church Blackburn are asking people to go the extra mile – or four miles to be precise in support of Turn on the Tap.
