A message from the community

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

My name is Gaddafi Shaibu. I am so grateful to the organization for coming to rehabilitate our borehole. We have been suffering of severe lack of water for a very long time. We had to make use of the dirty water from the stream. the water from the stream makes us sick because it is dirty and full of germs. We also had to buy water daily because of the terrible nature of the water our wives fetched from the stream. the stress of going to the stream has affected the health of our women and children so badly. I am so happy that all of this has come to an end now. Thank you so much for coming to help us. The rehabilitation of the borehole will defiantly save us from the stress and challenges of drinking dirty water and going in search of water. God bless you all for coming to our rescue.
