Dile Nikoli lives with her two young daughters, Elda (6) and Diana (2) in an extremely poor part of Albania. The girls endure sickness, stomach pains, skin ulcers and even worms -- and the cause of their grief is right outside their door.
The water they use from a shallow, contaminated, hand-dug borehole, not far from their front door in an open sewer trench is unbearable to smell. But what Dile does to make it “clean water” is unbelievable!
She pours the water through a piece of cloth, stretched over a tea strainer thinking she is purifying the water for her daughters. We’ve seen it time and again, mother’s doing their best, going to any length to give their children what they believe is clean water.
Jesus spoke about love in action when he said, “. . . I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. . .” (Matthew 25:36 NIV). Dile is a “stranger” to us, but not to God, and He is no stranger to the broken and thirsty in Haiti. He is calling us to provide clean, disease-free, life giving water through Mission: Water for LIFE.
