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

Borborville is in lower Margibi County. It dates from 2005, community chairlady Helena Brooks says. Most families earn their income from farming and small-scale trading. To meet their drinking and sanitation needs, families were forced to rely on open hand-dug wells that are often contaminated and caused diarrhea, typhoid, and a variety of other sicknesses. Lifewater learned of the suffering in Borborville and, thanks to our donors, drilled a well that is providing safe and easily accessible water for everyone. Residents are grateful to Lifewater team. They promised to care for the well.
