A message from the community
We as a community says thank you to Lifewater Canada for ensuring that we have clean water in our homes. We could not have had the pump repaired without you. Thank you for coming through. -- Community Leaders
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Osango Otulu's 358 residents in Kisumu County were forced to begin drawing water from stagnant ponds after the hand-powered pump on the community's well failed recently. The pond water wasn't safe for human consumption, so drinking it put children and adults at great risk of contracting diarrheal diseases and skin infections. To help, Lifewater Canada donors funded the repair of the hand pump. Now the community has safe water again.
Happy
