A message from the community

Dear Sir, Madame,

We are very happy as a community to write to you in this letter. I hope you are fine and doing well. 

Thank you so much for your services rendered to us by installing a pump for all of us to use for safe drinking water. We have already enjoyed this gift and are very appreciative of the health that it will bring. 

Thank you so much

James  W Broby

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

Upper New Totota is found within Totota, salala District, Lower Bong County. This community is in the middle of New Totota. It is large community with more women and children.

The house are built with dirt bricks, cement and zinc. They earn their living by farming, hunting, tapping of rubber trees, burning of wood coal and some by petty trade.

Their source of safe drinking water hand dug wells that are not safe for drinking. those hand dug wells are not deep enough; some are 10 feet, 5 feet. during the time of the raining season, the ground water floods into those wells causing it unsafe for drinking bathing. And during the dry season, the wells go dry causing water shortage for the people.

With the intervention of Lifewater Liberia and its international partners, the people of this community can now boast of safe drinking water.

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!
