A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, We are very grateful to Almighty God, that you sent your people to us to have good water in Dark Forest. In so doing, we are very happy for the help, that you and your people are giving us. May the Lord God bless you and your people in time to come. Sam Yassich


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

Dark Forest Community 7 is located on the Monrovia-Buchanan Highway entering Buchanan City just a stone-throw away from Tubman Street. The Community is directly opposite The Pentecostal Church that is adjacent to a sign board that reads "Hard Wood Business Center". Dark Forest Community 7 is large and populated with 2125 inhabitants. Women and children are about 63%of the total population. It is quite different from the other communities, quiet and organized with a large Christian population the highest among all the other communities. The people were eager and willing to be a part of the Lifewater Health and Hygiene workshop, which was held on May 7,2018. 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!
