August 21, 2013 No comments yet

Whilst visiting a leper colony in Amurri, Nigeria, Father Nicholas found there was a need for fresh water assistance to Amurri town and surrounds. The ministry came to claim responsibility for a bore to be sunk to provide clean drinking water.

The project required fund raising by the foundation in the order of AU$60,000.

Deliverables

  • Bore hole drilling
  • Water Pump Installation
  • Electricity Generator

Tailored solutions to local needs

Once completed this bore struck clear crystal water, which now supports some 5 villages in the area. The fresh water bore was opened and blessed by Emeritus Archbishop Barry James Hickey on the last day of December 2012.

Essential supplies to leper colonies

August 21, 2023 No comments yet

The Amurri Divine Mercy Foundation recently organised an outreach to leper colonies, bringing much-needed relief and support to communities that are often overlooked. Volunteers and team members delivered essential supplies including food, clean water, clothing, and basic medical items. The distribution was met with warmth and gratitude, as many families expressed how these provisions would ease their daily struggles.

Beyond the supplies, the visit created an atmosphere of compassion and solidarity. Conversations with residents reminded everyone present that dignity and hope can flourish when care is shared. The outreach not only provided material support but also strengthened the bond between the Foundation and the communities it serves. It was a day of kindness, service, and renewed commitment to humanity.
