A message from the community

We the people of Perkin Town Q1 say thank you for fixing our pump that was spoiled. God bless you people.

Kullie Letto, Community Leader

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

Perkin Town is in rural Margibi County, with most residents being members of the Kpelleh tribe, Liberia's largest ethnic group. Many of the locals are pumpkin farmers. 

Several years ago, Lifewater drilled water wells in Perkin Town. But about three months ago, after much wear and tear, the hand-powered pumps on the wells began failing. This forced locals to drink from potentially contaminated creeks and rivers.

Thanks to our donors, Lifewater returned to Perkin Town recently and repaired the hand pumps, including this one. The repairs brought great relief to the residents who thanked Lifewater and our donors for providing them with safe water again.

 

 




Every $1 you give provides a child with safe water for a year!
