A message from the community

I humbly wish to write on behalf of Achimbi community in Kuje Area Council to Lifewater Canada/Nigeria to appreciate this organization for coming to our aid in rehabilitating our borehole in our Primary Health Care at Achimbi. We are glad for this kind gesture. May God bless you all.

Yours faithfully,

Galadima Musa

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

My name is Sariki Fada. I live in Achimbi. We thank Lifewater for helping us. Before, we had bad water scarcity. The river was far away, very hard to reach. Because of little water, many people got sick from bad water. I am so happy Lifewater came to solve our problems. You rehabilitated our broken borehole. Now we have clean water again! This makes our whole community so happy. We prayed for help with the water. God answered by sending Lifewater. May He bless your organization for this kindness. Getting water was a wonderful blessing for us. Our lives will be better now. Thank you from all my heart for easing our suffering.
