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

Duazon Main Town Block C is located on the outskirts of the town. The population is very high approximately 900+ primarily young people. The main source of livelihood is fishing and petty trade, and there is no health clinics in this area.

Hand dug wells have been the only source of water for the local people, and as a result there has been a lot of sick people.

The Health and Hygiene team has made a difference with conducting a workshop on September 14,2019 teaching how to keep and maintain a clean environment to protect and provide a healthy life.

The new well with hand pump was installed and completed on September 30,2019 and safe water is flowing, giving health & hope to the people of Duazon Main Town Block C.

 

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!
