In May 2025, the Advance Lives team visited Holguin, Cuba, to assess progress on a water tank replacement project.

 Through successful fundraising efforts, we were able to provide a new tank, replacement platform, piping, and labour to deliver a reliable source of fresh water to the garden at Bethel Church in Milela. The produce from this garden will be distributed at no cost to seniors and families within the local community. 

This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to improving access to clean water in Cuba, supporting sustainable agriculture, and enhancing the overall well-being of vulnerable populations.
