The Living Water Community (LWC) has received a major boost in its effort to help Venezuelan refugees after being awarded special grant funding from the United States Government.
For the second year in a row, the LWC is a recipient of a grant from the Julia Taft Refugee Fund, which provides non-governmental organizations with up to $25,000 USD to quickly meet critical needs in refugee protection and assistance.
An official statement from the US Embassy says the LWC used the grant to purchase a vehicle to assist Venezuelan refugees in the San Rafael area to become more self-sufficient.
