McCorkell Constructions bring clean water
Beginning in 2006 McCorkell Constructions’ support was instrumental in bringing our Timor-Leste Water Project to life. Multiple staff members travelled to Timor to manage the building of the infrastructure and train young people so that the Zumalai community could have access to clean, safe drinking water.
Betty’s Burgers to the rescue
During Easter 2021, parts of Timor-Leste, including its capital Dili and the sub-district Zumalai, were devasted by the storms and floods from Tropical Cyclone Seroja. The response to our emergency appeal was overwhelming, including the support we received from the team at Betty’s Burgers. Without hesitation, their generous donation helped ensure that communities were able to rebuild homes and vital infrastructure.
