A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madame In the name of all the community we want to said thank you very much to Lifewater for this precious gift. We had a lot of problems for water in our community but we did not have money to pay for a well. After we sent a request to Lifewater, we prayed every day for a positive answer. God answered our prayers! We are very happy. May the Lord keep protecting you everywhere Lifewater is working. Thank you again Jean Claude Estimable


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

There are about 400 people in this community and everyone will access this new well. Before the well was planted we all walked about 25 min to a nearby well. WE would have to wait a long time in cue for water as many people accessed this well constantly. If we could afford it on average about 700 Goudes weekly was spent on bagged water ($7.25 CDN)
