A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madame

We want to say thank you very much to Lifewater for saving many people lives. The well we had before was not enough and there always was a big fight.  One day police even came to stop the fight, because too many people were on the well. After that, I sent a request to Lifewater for a new well. They came and saw our problem and they decided to put another well in our community.

We are very happy to have this problem resolved. Now our life will be easier for us.

Thank you very much to all of you. May God keep you safe every where you go to drill more wells.

Thank you again

Justin Pierre

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

The population in this community is about 900 people. About 400 will collect water from this new well daily. The closest pump to us about a 15 min walk but many people use this well so it is a problem.  On average we spend about 600 Goudes weekly on bagged water (about $6.25 CDN)
