Tabitha-Cambodia
13th Year (2006-07)
Annual Report
Water Well Campaign
Only 1 percent of families associated with Tabitha have access to clean potable water near their home. Not only is everyone entitled to access to clean water, but such access dramatically reduces the incidence of diarrhea and infection and doubles a family's income. During times of drought, water can be pumped and used to irrigate the fields. The impact of a well has both immediate and long-term effects and serves five families.

Janne's Birthday Wish
In April, I celebrate a big birthday I turn 60 years of age my life is full of goodness, full of grace.
I too would like to share the gift of my life with others. So I would like to ask each of you to help me.
Instead of birthday cards, wishes, flowers and the like, I would like to ask for wells 60 wells would be wonderful 300 families would begin
their road to hope but 600 wells would be a true measure of the grace that has filled my life 3000 families would be touched because you and I know each other. You are my grace.
If you would like to do this contact the Tabitha Foundation nearest you just say that you and I are celebrating my life with the gift of a well.
