A message from the community

Dear Sir, 

We greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We the community members of Totola thank you for constructing a modern pump and drilled well for us.

Before we drew our water from a shallow well which was not safe for us to drink from.  Today we can boast that we have a new well that will keep us so much healthier. 

The entire community thank you for this gift and wish to express their gratitude to your organization for this great project. 

May the Almighty God bless you all.

Sincerely the Almighty God 

 

 

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

Central 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.

The new well and hygiene training will go far in lifing the Dwellers up!

Sincerely 

Moses Kohel

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!
