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

The Wise Star Basic Academy, and indeed the entire community it served, had been living with a constant, parching struggle for water. For Head Teacher Daniel Grace, the daily sight of pupils queuing for meager sips from a tiny keg was a persistent ache. After physical education classes, students were left feeling sticky and hot all day because there was no water for them to wash themselves. The lack of clean water wasn't just an inconvenience; it fostered rampant waterborne diseases that plagued both the school and the wider community. Their lives were defined by this burden, waiting for a solution. However, Lifewater's arrival brought a profound and unprecedented change to their circumstances, a true "answered prayer." "The drilling team came with hope, tools, and passion," Daniel shared, recalling the day their fortunes turned. The impact of Lifewater's efforts has been truly transformative for Wise Star Basic Academy. The completion of the borehole meant an immediate end to thirst and unhygienic conditions. "When the borehole was completed, we gathered the children and told them, ‘Now you will never have to go thirsty in school again,’" Daniel recounted, capturing the sheer relief and joy. The school compound, once burdened by the consequences of water scarcity, now "smells fresh," and pupils are able to wash their hands regularly, drastically reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases. The difference, as Daniel put it, is "loud and visible." "May your hands never grow weary, May God continue bless you all in abundance," Daniel Grace concluded, expressing the deep appreciation felt by the entire school and community. Lifewater's intervention has not only provided a vital resource but has also ushered in an era of improved health, hygiene, and comfort, ensuring a brighter, healthier future for the children of Wise Star Basic Academy.
