CAFOD is the official Catholic aid agency for England and Wales

Lent 2012

Thank you all, so much, for your incredible support this Lent. The generosity of your Fast Day collections, frugal lunches, Walks for Water and prayers, and your inspiring passion for our Thirst for Change campaign has been overwhelming.

Your donations will make an enormous difference. It means we can build more water pumps, dig more boreholes and improve sanitation, giving the poorest people a chance to live with dignity and to flourish.

Our Lent appeal is now closed but it’s not too late to send in what you raised from your fundraising activities between 17 February and 17 May. Send it in as soon as possible so we can add it to the Lent total.
