Giving Tuesday is Dec. 2, 2025
Goal: $100,000
Clean water is key for health and human dignity — and right now, COAR needs your help to protect both.
We’re launching a bold campaign to raise $150,000 for a vital water infrastructure project at COAR Peace Mission in El Salvador. Thanks to the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, we’ve already received a generous $50,000 lead gift. Now, we’re asking our supporters to help us raise the remaining $100,000.
Why now?
- The current system is aging and unreliable, with major water leaks and a failing sewage system.
- These issues are causing foul odors and pose health risks to our community.
- This is not just a health issue — it’s a dignity issue. We want every child and staff member at COAR to be proud of who they are and where they live.
- The cistern and pump were replace several years ago and are in great condition, but the pipes bringing water to the school and the children’s village are damaged, causing much of this precious water to go to waste before it gets to the children
We need your help before the year ends to ensure this project can begin in 2026. Your gift will be tax-deductible for 2025 if made by December 31.
Every drop counts. Every dollar helps. Please consider making an extra donation this year to help us reach our goal and make this project possible.
You’ll be part of ensuring access to safe drinking water and dignified conditions for everyone at the COAR Children’s Village and the school.
