Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

On December 14, 2016 a workshop was held at this community with 24 people attending.

Duazon Public School is a community that is located along the Robert International Airport highway. This community is in an open field covered with fine grain of white sand.  The condition of the landscape makes it difficult to dig hand dug wells. There are few hand dug wells in this community, and one of these wells runs totally dry during the season because of its shallowness.  Most of the people in this area depend on petite trade for their source of livelihood and the homes are made from various materials ranging from mat houses, dirt bricks and concrete buildings. All the people here shared one common problem, the issue of no safe water, but thanks to Lifewater Liberia for changing the story of the people in Duazon Public School Community.  This is the drive that keeps us moving as a team, the joy that every new well brings to the villagers...Thanks for the efforts of all who continue to make this work possible.

This well was drilled as part of a cooperative NGO initiative to provide safe drinking water to all Liberian's. Thanks to ''The Last Well Inc.'' for their coordination and support!
