A message from the community

On behalf of our families, and the community at large, we wish to thank Lifewater Canada for seeing our plight and blessing us with a new well. We are grateful to have clean water in our village. May the Almighty Father bless you all. ---Community Leaders

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

The residents of Kalando Withur community in Kenya’s Kisumu County had no means to access clean and safe drinking water. This is because the only reliable source of water in the community was a river, however, the river’s water was unsafe for drinking. But not anymore, because since Lifewater Canada funded the drilling of a new well in the community and installed a new hand pump, everyone in the village now has access to clean and safe drinking water from the village. Men and women of Kalando Withur community are no longer collecting water from the dirty stream, instead they are enjoying drinking clean water from the new well.
