Our Trip

I'm taking Denny and Leesa Bellesi to Ethiopia. Denny and Leesa are the founders of Kingdom Assignment (www.kingdomassignment.org). We are traveling to visit the Ethiopia Water and Sanitation Project (EWSP). This project will increase access to safe water and reduce the prevalence of water-related diseases for rural communities. The EWSP will provide sustainable, safe water resources to 340,000 Ethiopians and sanitation improvements and hygiene training for 170,000, while the MWP will benefit 110,000 community members.
