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.

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.
