A message from the community

We, the entire members of Unguwan Sama Yelwa community, wish to appreciate the effort of Lifewater Canada/Nigeria for rendering and providing the community with borehole.

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

My name is Danlami Pai. I appreciate the kind efforts of Lifewater for coming to drill a new borehole for us. We sincerely appreciate the assistance Lifewater provided to the community. The level of water scarcity within the community is alarming and so disheartening. Our women go far distances in search of water; the water isn't as clean as people do bathing in the river; animals’ poo is all over the water. It's so terrible because we frequently fall victim to cholera, typhoid, diarrhea, and other waterborne diseases due to the unsafe and unclean water we drink from the river. Thank you so much for coming to save the community by drilling a new borehole that will provide us with a new and safe source of water. God bless Lifewater.
