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

Peace Community #1 is located near the Water and Sewer Community not far from Buchanan City in Grand Bassa County. It has a population of 2875 inhabitants, 70% women and children. This forested area is flat and then slopes downward to swampy land, which is used mostly for farming. During the dry season the hand dug wells go almost completely dry, and during the wet season this area becomes flooded, and causes serious contamination to these hand dug wells. The Lifewater Health & Hygiene Team held a workshop for this community on May 4, 2018 with 22 participants. Basic instructions were given on how to restore and maintain a healthy life. The provision of safe clean water for this community extends a helping hand to them, for which they are very grateful. 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!
