A message from the community

We the entire people of Ngawa Akwanga community write to thank Lifewater for the good work done for us. Thank you for rehabilitating our well (including a new hand pump) that stopped functioning for a long time. -- Uba Luka, Community Leader


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

I am Blessing from Ngawa Akwanga. We are so grateful to God for bringing Lifewater to our community to give us clean drinking water after our well broke down. The local stream was being shared between the community residents and cattle. Despite the bad quality of the water, we must queue up to get it. Our children fall sick regularly due to the dirtiness of the stream. We are so happy and grateful to Lifewater for coming to save us from all the suffering. God bless you."
