CDUK CHANGES LIVES



EARTH IS THE HOME WE SHARE - LEAD THE CHANGE

We change lives with water, wells, workshops, wind power and more
We provide environmentally sustainable solutions & self help projects in the developing world.

March 2023 - YOUR SUPPORT HAS HELPED US TO PREVENT MOTHERS IN RWANDA FROM DYING & CHILDREN FROM  BEING ORPHANED. WE HAVE JUST COMPLETED A SEWING COPERATIVE TO COMMEMORATE the Bishop Enock Memorial Fund.

We were only able to buy 4 sewing machines and need 6 more at least for the workshop to run at full capacity so we still need your help please.

CAN YOU SEND 2 KILO PACKAGES OF GOOD QUALITY UNWANTED DUVET COVERS TO RWANDA FOR WOMEN TO USE FOR PRACTICE WHILE THEY LEARN?  Contact Ros at compassiondirectuk@gmail,com  for more information

Help 100’s of poor rural mothers in Rwanda dying from HIV and leaving orphans. They are shunned by society but need work to live. They need food so they can take their medication.

They asked us to build a sewing cooperative so that they can work together to earn and support their families.
Help us to build a well for the village. Go to our Rwandan projects page to learn more.
