A message from the community

We appreciate the kind gesture shown by Lifewater in coming to our aid and repairing our five-years-damaged well pump. Before (the repair), we would go to the river to fetch water. We had to walk three kilometres to the river, and the water from it was usually dirty. Animals like goats and cows drink from it. When our children drank this water, they fell sick. Today, we thank Lifewater and we pray that the almighty God will bless your organization. -- Ibrahim Usman, Community Leader


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

"We are thankful to God for sending Lifewater to our area to fix our damaged borehole," community spokesperson Usman Saliyu told us. "After the hand pump started to malfunction, getting clean water became very difficult. We were forced to utilize the filthy, contaminated water from the stream, which left us constantly ill. We sincerely appreciate you for coming out to fix our hand pump and providing us with good water again. We are so grateful and happy. God bless you all."
