A message from the community

The community of Ben's town wish to say a big thank you to Lifewater Canada and Lifewater Liberia for the construction of a new well. The well's clean water will help curb the spread of waterborne diseases in our community. We are also very happy to be able to access clean water. ---Community Leaders

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

Waterborne illnesses were a constant threat for children and adults living in Ben's town as the community’s only option for everyone was to drink from the nearest open well and a creek in the village. But through the generosity of our donors, Lifewater has constructed a new well, including installing a hand pump. Safe water is now available to young and old in Ben's town.
