More than 110 congregations across Canada are caring for God’s creation in the area around Lake Chad through the Friends of Creation Challenge. Together they have raised $962,316 to help restore 19,246 acres in the Lake Chad basin.

We expect that after two-and-a-half years of this project, over 128,000 people will benefit directly from the improved ecosystem—with better nutrition, water access, crop yields, and sustainable futures—and an additional 640,000 people will be able to live and work in ecosystems that will have been restored.

Thank you so much for your support!
