A message from the community
We want to say thank you very much to Lifewater. We spend so much money on water every day and now you came and saved us with this new well. We will continue to pray for all of you so you can continue drilling wells for our country. We will ask God to send more resources for you. Thanks again and agape love to you all. -- Altidor Gaurriere, Community Leader
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
With no well in their community, to ensure they had safely drinkable water, the roughly 500 children and adults living in Ruelle Cap Plaza had to walk about an hour to and from the nearest well or rely on expensive local vendors. The twice-daily trip to the nearest well was consuming valuable time and buying from the local vendors were consuming valuable money. Then Lifewater Canada donors funded the drilling of a well in the community so every grateful child and adult now has safe, free, and easily accessible water.
