A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor

I have lived in this community since I was a kid and I am 70 years old now. Approximately 200 people live here and we live off our gardens for food. We used to walk very far to get water from a Lifewater well in another community, but now we are very thankful to have a new well within our community.

Thank you very much for the well you drilled for us, God will bless you back, thank you again.

With Love,

Wesly Joseph
