"Over 1,000 people have died, and some 2.6 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. CAR’s violent downward spiral began last year when Islamic Seleka rebels seized control of the country.

"A few days ago, sectarian violence hit Living Water International and in-country partner, Water for Good, close to home."
