"My personal journey with Marion Medical Mission has been a spiritual awakening. It's one that started many years ago. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest under five mortality rate in the world, 15 times higher than in high income countries. And 50% of the hospital admissions in Sub-Saharan Africa are because of waterborne disease. Marion Medical Mission makes the water safe at the source. Think about it. Building wells that provide safe drinking water in rural African villages 8,500 miles away, where there's no electric power and where many times there's no roads or bridges. Marion Medical Mission goes where others won't."
