A message from the community

I write to appreciate Lifewater for drilling a well in our community. This has ended the need to search for water. May God reward your labour for humanity. Thanks you very much. -- Moro Hanatu Amutu, Community Leader


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

Residents of Unity Estate B would suffer regular water shortages when the government's pipeline would stop working. Those who could afford it would turn to expensive local water vendors. Everyone else went out in search of water from contaminated sources -- putting themselves at risk of contracting diarrheal diseases. Recently, thanks to our donors, Lifewater drilled a well in the community that is providing lots of safe water and easing everyone's dependence on the government's erratic system.
