Maina and also the donor who funded this project. Other blessings are directed to the life water personnel at large and especially to the crew who worked for us on the project site. God bless them so much. We once again say that we are grateful and may God bless you abundantly. Yours in Christ's Service Rev.Johnson Gikungu Gatembe
