A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our Tiny Life Copper Trail in the month of February. We are currently counting the coppers and will let you know the total when we have it. To coincide with our annual Trocaire Lenten Campaign, March's Copper Trail will be in aid of Trocaire.
This year's campaign focuses on Malita's family in Malawi. Too little or too much water is a daily struggle for Malita. You can help Malita and her family build a more secure future in the face of devastating climate change. Every day, Malita, her daughters Patricia and Margaret or son Patrick walk for hours to fetch water from the nearest well. Sometimes this can take the children over an hour and means they miss school.  Despite the poverty and unpredictability they face, Malita’s family are resilient and resourceful, determined to adapt to the changing climate, and Malita’s priority is to ensure her children don’t go hungry. 
Your support can change the lives of families like Malita’s, in Malawi and all over the world. With your help, Trocaire can work with families when there is too much water, strengthening flood defences and emergency responses and when there is too little, Trocaire can help adapt irrigation systems and provide better access to safe water. 
Further information can be found at https://www.trocaire.org/lent-appeal/ and if you would like one, Trocaire boxes for your homes can be collected at the back of the chapel in Our Lady of Lourdes, Steelstown. Thank you for your ongoing support.
