| RAINWATER CATCHMENT SYSTEM - BANYO, CAMEROON Description: Water sources often dry up or disappear during the harsh dry season in many communities. This is the case in the Banyo community where the springs that normally provide water via a gravity system slow down for many months. People will often seek water in highly contaminated sources during this periods resulting in disease and even death from poor water quality.

OR SUPPORT A SPECIFIC MINISTRY NEED...
| AIR FARE TO AFRICA Description: They say, "Getting there is half the battle." In the case of ministry work in Africa, they should say, "Getting there is half the budget!" This is a major expense for ministry workers Cost: Estimated at $2,400 per round trip flight. Additional Information: We expect to send three WTM missionaries back to Africa in 2013-2014. Your gift will be applied to their air fare when exact dates are known. |
| WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM - UGANDA MISSIONARIES Description: A husband and wife team serving among an unreached people group in Uganda called the Ik are in need of a reliable water source for their new home for the next 15+ years where they will develop a written language in order to translate the Bible into the heart language of this people group. Geographic location: Northern Uganda Project Duration/Cost: 1+ months/ estimated $6000-$8,000 Additional Information: Further assessment is required to evaluate an appropriate system for the area. There is the potential for bringing work teams in to assist with construction. An excellent church opportunity. |
| MEDICAL EVACUATION INSURANCE Description: Accidents certainly do happen in Africa, and they are often more serious due to the lack of emergency response facilities and personnel. Consequently, WTM workers travel with medical evacuation insurance in the event of a life-threatening emergency. Cost: Estimated at $371 per month for a family. Additional Information: Give for a month or the whole year. Your donation will be applied to the premium. |

| ADDITIONAL RESERVOIR TANK Description: During the dry season, there is a shortage of water with the existing gravity flow system. The impact of this lack of rainfall could be lessened by the addition of more storage capacity. Currently refurbishment of an existing tank is being considered to save cost. Geographic location: Adamawa Province, Cameroon Project Duration/Cost: 2 month/$1,657 Additional Information: Capacity is about 10,000L |
| ANJIN WATER EXPANSION PROJECT Description: This is an ongoing gravity-flow water project for several thousand Christians in the remote village of Anjin who lack clean water in many of outlying areas. They are very motivated and have added their own funds to those received from the U.S. Geographic location: Northwest Province (English speaking), Cameroon Project Duration/Cost: Until done/about $500 per km Additional Information: A partner church in South Dakota is currently raising funds to assist |
| MUD ROTARY DRILLING RIG UP TO 200 FOOT DRILLING DEPTH Description: This mobile drill rig is perfect for remote locations where larger rigs cannot reach. A small crew can be trained to operate the machine. Submersible electric pumps or hand-operated pumps can be installed in the borehole depending on the location and availability of power, materials, etc. Drilled wells can be installed for approximately the same cost as a hand dug well in one third of the time. Depending on site geology, community water needs and resources, and site location, a drilled well may be the best choice for a village water supply. The rig is also very useful for initial site assessments to determine site-specific geology/lithology, approximate depth to water and the feasibility of installing a hand dug well at a certain location (e.g. the presence of large boulders can be identified, which may prevent the installation of a hand dug well). Cost: Estimated at $5,905 (quoted by DeepRock) Additional Information: Pricing includes all costs, including rig, drilling "mud" (i.e. bentonite mixture), inland and sea freight, documents/customs forms and fees, drilling additives and rods (200'). Additional materials can be added to the order at a unit rate cost. |

| FLEXIBLE SOLAR PANELS/BATTERIES FOR CAMEROON HOME POWER Description: A small solar array will be installed to power a few lights, charge equipment and run small items like our computer. We currently have two panels for a total of 128 watts, but we'd like to double this to meet all our power needs. The link to the panels we have already purchased is below. The panels will need to be carried over, so they must be purchased before September 2010. Cost: Each 64 W panel is $225. Additional Information: Additional batteries will also be required to store the power generated through the panels. These cost approximately $160 each and can be purchased in-country. They are not true solar batteries, but heavy-duty truck batteries from Nigeria get the job done for a couple of years! |

| SUPPORT PART OF A WELL - PICK A PART OR AN ENTIRE WELL Description: We know that it may difficult for individuals to fund an entire well project, so we've broken up some of the costs for a hand dug well so that supporters and sponsor part of the project. Once all the components of the well project have been funded, WTM will select a village for its installation. Approximate costs are provided. Contribute any amount to the following:
Cost: The remaining costs are paid by the community "in-kind" through their labor contribution (e.g. retrieving water/sand from the river, breaking stones to make gravel for the concrete, etc.) This also helps develop ownership on the part of the community and improves the longevity of the well. A water committee is also formed consisting of local community members, and two technicians are selected to perform operation and routine maintenance once the project is complete. |
| MALARIA MEDS FOR A FAMILY Description: Exposure to malaria is one of the greater threats to productive ministry in regions like the Adamawa. Although treatable, it is best to prevent malaria before it happens. Help keep our missionaries healthy by contributing to this important need. Cost: $832 for two year term. Additional information: Provide any amount up to the full cost. |
| VISA PAPERWORK and RESIDENT PERMITS FOR TERM Description: One of those things you just can't avoid when traveling overseas. VISAs get us in the country, and resident permits ($500/person) keep us there long-term. Cost: $646 per person (VISA plus resident permit) |
| IMMUNIZATIONS - DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM! Description: You don't realize how many microbial things will kill you until you take a trip to Africa. Although we've had many of the necessary immunizations before, many of them are expired and must be done again. A small price to pay for something that could save money later and perhaps even our lives... Cost: $160 Additional information: Please contact Nurse Tiffany if you would like more information about what we must be immunized against. |
