A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madame:

Thank you very much to Lifewater for this gift that's the most important thing we can have in our community. Good water will change many lives and our community is very grateful. We had to walk over 15 min with a bucket on our head before this new well was installed. Our community is over 2000 people and the 1 well we had was overwhelmed. Long line ups and the children were pushed aside too often when they went for water.

Thanks again for coming to our rescue. We will pray for God to bless you all.
