A message from the community
Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, We the people of Rock Community say a big thank you for the model hand pump constructed in our community. May God continue to bless your organization. Thank you, Meller Ben
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
On December 12,2016 a Health & Hygiene workshop was conducted and 27 people attended. This populated community is located on the beach side of the Robert International Airport highway. The landscape is very sandy, and because of this the people find it very difficult to get safe drinking water. This community has been without a hand pump or hand dug well, therefore they would have to transport water from other locations. With the timely intervention of Lifewater Liberia and its partners, the people of Rock community can now drink from a local hand pump. The people praise God so much for this! This well was drilled as part of a cooperative NGO initiative to provide safe drinking water to all Liberian's. Thanks to ''The Last Well Inc.'' for their coordination and support!
