Welcome to Emma's Hope

Emma's Hope was created by 7 year old Emma Grace in response to the great need she noticed. In 2009, Emma (at that time 5 years old) received $20 and a Samaritan's Purse catalog. She could choose any gift for a needy child. While searching through the catalog, she saw that many children don't have clean water to drink. She told her parents, "That's just not fair." She asked us if she could buy a water well. We told her YES and thus began the idea for Emma's Hope. The goal of Emma's Hope is to raise $10,000 for the purchase of a water well in a needy village. We know that children can't begin to focus on God's love for them while they are thirsty and dehydrated. Stay tuned for the plans and progress of Emma's Hope. Pray about how you can be involved in changing lives... with clean water and Living Water!

  2. I remember when you first told me about your hope and prayer to change lives by providing clean water to those in need. I have been praying for this project and will continue. I'm sending my first donation, and pray that I can ask a lot of family and friends to do the same.
