Vatican's water initiative in health care facilities is an investment in life

Masanga, a hilly, isolated area in northwestern Tanzania has eight villages that mostly depended on unprotected springs for their water, shared with livestock. The Daughters of Charity arrived in 2007 and started a health center, St. Catherine’s School, a vocational training center, orphanage and more.

Views: Visits 446 The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, who came under heavy unfounded criticism from  a hitherto vlogger, Maureen Badejo, has won the libel case he instituted against the Vlogger for her unprovoked and premeditated accusations against Olukoya. Badejo held the world spellbound with a barage of attacks against Olukoya including that he was a cultist, rapist and a killer. None of these were portrayed with evidence, and so to put a stop to such inhuman declarations, the prayerful preacher took her to court for libel, and made a N10 billion claim. The case kicked off on September 7, 2020.
