A message from the community

Dear sponsor, We the resident of Longan town Pipeline Community extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all Life water staff and to all of your many donors whose contribution we will never know but always remembers as those who do show us kindness. With a heart of gratitude, we know this new hand pump will help reduced the burden of access to safe and clean drinking water we have had for the time past years most especially during the dry season when we as a community face serious challenges of getting water. We remain forever grateful and will always remember you in our prayers. It is our hope as a community that this will not be the end of your generous donation to saving life through this initiative but the beginning of more of this kind in and around the remaining blocks and beyond. Thanks you and may the God that sees us bless you abundantly. Sincerely Henry Foday –Musa Jr.


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

A shallow well in Longan community in Liberia's Margibi county was the only source of water known to all villagers. The villagers could not access clean water because the community had no source of clean water. However, Lifewater Canada partnered with Lifewater Liberia to drill a new well in Longan community and install a new hand pump. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, clean and safe drinking water is now easily accessible to all in Longan community.
