A message from the community

We the Kasagwe community wish to acknowledge and appreciate the drilling of a well by Lifewater Canada. Having a clean source of water was always a dream. We feel so blessed to be living it. -- Community Leaders

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

Members of Kasagwe community in Kisumu County would get water for their household needs from surface sources such as swamps. Residents attribute the diarrhea and stomach aches they experienced to their consumption of this unsafe water. Recently, with the help of our donors, Lifewater Canada drilled a well and installed a hand-pump that are providing safe water to grateful children and adults in the community.
