A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madame

Thank you very much Lifewater for giving us this well in our locality. We had lots of problems with water for a long time. Thank you very much to the team and everyone who gave their time and money to make it happen.

May The Lord keep you safe all the times.

Georges Wilguy

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

This is a populated area with 1000 people living here.  Up to 900 will access this new well. Some people dug a hole in their yards to get non-potable water for use to wash cloths etc but to obtain drinking water was always a big problem. The nearest well is about 1 km away and we go a couple of times a day there for water to drink.  It is so hot now, we also need about 15 gallons per week of bagged water per week, which is costly, for our drinking water.

Jean Louis chantale will be our caretaker of this new well.
