A message from the community
With regret we had to limit our well drilling initiative due to the exorbitant cost of the pumps. The solution of shipping in a container out of India (at a much lower per-pump cost) was beyond our ability until Lifewater Canada's donors helped us. We are grateful but more so the many communities that will have the benefit of a productive well with a good hand pump that is easily maintained.
Gratefully yours,
STADA and LKR teams
