Dear Lifewater & Sponsor,

We extend our heart-felt thanks and appreciation to the entire Lifewater Family, for its God given contribution of a Hand Pump. This gift will have restored unto us the key to our lives that results in good health. May God grant unto you long life and strength to spread this gift to all the people of Liberia.

Respectfully yours,

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

 Jerko Town (Block B #2) (population 800) is located along the Buchanan Highway right after the NP Gas Station, on the left side of Block B#1 sharing the boundary line of Kpanay Town. The homes here are poorly built and tend to last only a few years, posing serious threats to their well being.  There were many testimonies about the many problems being faced in the community due to the lack of basic social services including water. The hand dug wells are located around old burial sites and dump sites, causing this water to be contaminated.  This new drilled well has really given them hope for the future development of their community.   

Now it is with great celebration for the people to have a completed well located in their town providing safe clean water for their families.

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!
