A message from the community
Dear Sponsor & Lifewater, I am very happy for the pump you replaced for us. The old one was not working and we had to walk 1 kilometre to get water from another well. We are very happy to have a new pump now, thank you very much to all of you. I will pray for you Josias Michel Well Caretaker
