We appreciate Lifewater for rehabilitating the community's hand pump water well. May almighty Allah reward you richly. 

   -- Aliyu, Community Leader 

Gwari Babba Kungo Yarima went without safe water for five long years after the hand pump on the community's well broke down. Residents had to talk to a distant river or draw water from hand-dug wells. Both of these sources were open to the elements and therefore to contamination that could make children and adults sick. The time needed to fetch this bad water each day also caused children to miss time in school and women to miss time needed to care for their households or earn extra income.

Lifewater visited the community recently and, thanks to our donors, replaced the broken hand pump. Safe and easily accessible water is finally flowing again in Gwari Babba Kungo Yarima, lifting a significant burden off the shoulders of everyone. The community appreciates Lifewater Canada's support and prays that God will bless our donors.
