A message from the community

I hope this finds you well my good friend. Me too, I am doing great. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Kotholo Community and church to write this letter. The community and church are so much glad and grateful for the sacrifice you made to provide water for them. There is no equivalent amount of gratitude to give back compared to what you have done to the people of this community who were really in need of your support. The community and church still welcomes you back at anytime to give more support. As the Chairman, all I can say is just God to bless you and give a return of more than you gave us. Thank you very much and be blessed STADA. Your Faithfully, John Otieno Onyango, Chairman


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

Thanks to the support of our donors, the children and adults in Israel Church Miri community no longer need to risk becoming sick with diarrhea or other waterborne illnesses after drinking from the nearest dirty source of water. The residents would rely on these these contaminated sources as they did not have affordable and reliable source of clean water in the community. The contaminated source of water exposed them to diseases, until recently when they were given the opportunity to enjoy clean drinking water; this was after Lifewater Canada funded the construction of a new well, and even installed a new hand pump.
