We show the love of Christ through projects that directly impact the African people, stressing self-help and sustainability.

Village communities make the brick and provide the sand, stone, and unskilled labor. MMM provides only what the villagers cannot: the cement, Mark V galvanized steel pump, and skilled African labor. An MMM well is one the villages know how to maintain and can afford to maintain.

The purpose of the MVCA is to protect water and related resources for present and future generations. The activities of the MVCA are driven by local municipalities, landowners and community organizations. We are committed to providing effective community-based conservation services in a cost efficient manner. We're excited to be launching Footprints to Forests, a new fund that enables donors to calculate their carbon footprint and then compensate for annual Green House Gas emissions by planting trees. Trees help to reduce the impacts of climate change and also provide benefits such as biodiversity and improved water quality. Donations to the Carbon Footprints to Forests program will be used to plant trees in Conservation Areas in the Maitland watershed. Visit www.footprintstoforests to calculate your carbon footprint. Donors are welcome to compensate for their whole carbon footprint or a portion of it. We welcome smaller donations, every tree counts!
