A message from the community

We wish to express our gratitude to Lifewater Canada for the new well in our community. We are so blessed to have the gift of the well and the pump. May God bless you. -- Community Leaders

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

The 700 residents of Oyola ACK community in the Nyando region have always been forced to gather their water from contaminated sources such as rivers, ponds and swamps. Villagers never had a source of safe water. But recently, thanks to generous Lifewater Canada donors, a team arrived in the community and drilled a well that is providing safe and easily accessible water to everyone. People young and old expressed their gratitude.
