A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor,

I have lived in Dimini for 35 years, I am married and have 5 children. This community is very poor and live from their gardens. On behalf of the people in this community I would like to say thank you to all the supporters for this gift of a well. We will no longer have to get water from the spring which is a 2 km walk. We are very happy to have safe water in are community now.

Sincerely,

Carmene Jean
