A message from the community

We are so deeply honored and thankful to have a new well in our community. This is the first and only clean water source in our village. We thank you so much for working so hard to provide us with access to clean and safe drinking water. May God bless you all. ---Community Leaders

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

Men and women living in 15_Gate community in Liberia's Careysburg district struggled to access clean water for several years. The only option available was a hand dug well that served the community, even though its water was not safe for drinking. Thankfully, Lifewater Canada and Lifewater Liberia drilled a new well for the community. Lifewater also installed a new hand pump so, everyone in 15_Gate is happily drinking and washing from the village well.
