A message from the community
Dear Sponsor, On behalf of all the villages that received the gift of safe water flowing once again from their handpumps, I want to express their thanks. In every case, people were excited when we come into the village to assess and repair their pumps. Water that is safe to drink even when the rains come so hard is still a precious commodity. To prevent sickness and disease in these villages, the wells we repair are vital to their health. When Hurricane Mathew devastated our little island, we felt like the world did not notice the plight of the people here. Pumps were flooded, covered in mud slides, and just brought into a state of disrepair. It was such a blessing to go to village after village and help them get safe water flowing again. You support allowed us to go throughout the area and restore health and hope to so many. Thanks for providing so much cups of water in Jesus' name! Lifewater D'Haiti Pump Repair team
