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

My name is Bobo Haruna. I am here to appreciate Lifewater for drilling a new borehole for us. Before, we have been facing challenges of water scarcity in our community. Thank you for the privilege given to us by the organization. The water issue has become a great concern to us all, as we have to go a long way to get water from the stream, which is so hectic for us and our children. We feel so honored for the quick response from the organization to come and give us a new borehole for us all to enjoy. May the Lord continue to strengthen Lifewater to keep doing more of this good work in other communities too. Thank you so much.
