A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor We wish to express our gratitude to you for the kind gesture of providing our community with this gift of two new wells. We had anticipated the arrival of your workers, and were delighted for the quick arrival and the work that they did here. With this work, you have eased the problems we face especially in the dry season when the local ponds that we depend on dry up and we are unable to get any clean source of water. We extend our deepest regards and appreciation to all those who have enabled this work to take place. We promise to take care of this well, so that it keeps serving the people of this town and also all those who come through. Thank you and God bless, Alhaji Milaika Shagari
