A message from the community
In the name of all our community members, I thank Lifewater for the well they drilled for us. We are very happy to have this well because life was harder than ever. We will stop having to start our day at 5:00 a.m. to get water for it is right here at home. Thank you again
-- Etienne Vandesalve, Community Leader
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
With no well in their community, the approximately 1,000 people in Famille Reunis had to make an almost two-hour trek two or three times each day to another village to draw water from their well, or buy water from expensive local vendors. Walking to the other village was consuming large amounts of everyone's time while buy from vendors was consuming large amounts of everyone's money. But thanks to our donors, Lifewater has drilled a well in Famille Reunis that is providing safe, easily accessible and free water to the entire community.
