The people of this  Community were very happy to see the Lifewater HH Team moving into their Community and they gathered around eagerly to learn about their environment.  The Workshop brought in lessons to the inhabitants on  how one prevent and  secure their lives  from sickness or diseases by keeping their environment clean and safe.
