A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, We are very grateful for having learned something wonderful from the workshop. We the people of Cephas Town appreciate such a gesture. May the Almighty God continue to bless you. With great respect, Gongar H. Gongar Dear Sir/Madam, We the community dwellers of Cephas Town, extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Lifewater family for coming to our aid. We have been drinking dug well and creek water for a while which was not safe for us. We say a very big thank you for bringing safe clean drinking water to our community. Words are inadequate to express the degree of joy and happiness that we are experiencing, and will remain grateful. Sincerely yours, Gongar H. Gongar


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

This large community is located in Bong Mines, along the Handii Highway. It is about a 10-15 min walk from the bus stop. Although Cephus Town is a densly populated town, it had no hand pumps and only one dug well in the entire area which has a very slow recharge and allows only a few buckets to be drawn at a time. This problem is compounded whent he upper portion of the community's water source goes dry and they too come to draw from this 1 well. Needless to say they are thrilled with this new water point. It will provide water to this large community of people giving them safe drinking water and giving them a better quality of life. A Health & Hygiene Workshop was conducted on April 21,2017 and 27 people attended. 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!
