Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Members of Peace community in Montserrado county would collect drinking and washing water from a shallow well, a dirty source of water that put them at the risk of catching diseases with each drop of drinking water. Even though the residents desired to access clean drinking water so that they could feel safe while drinking, they could not afford that option.
But thankfully, Lifewater Canada afforded them a clean and safe source of drinking and washing water by funding the construction of a new well and equipping it with a hand pump.
