A message from the community

Dear Sir, Madame: Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our reason for writing you this letter is to give you our heartfelt thanks for the handpump that you have planted in our community. Our need for water to drink that was safe for our little ones has been heard by our God and you have come to our rescue. It has caused us to rejoice and to sing with happiness that our prayers have been answered. We really have no words that are great enough to express the depth of our gratitude. How can you put a value on a human life and your gift will save many, many lives of our little ones who are so at risk drinking water from the old dug well that was bad for all of us. Thank you so very much for caring enough to give us this new well! May God bless you all. Jango Sando Well Caretaker


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

Upper Caldwell is located along the Bomi Road before getting to VOA Town. It is very populated mainly with women and children. The people of this town earn their living by petty trade in other to take care of their children. There is no hand pump in this town except for a hand dug well that is opened both days and nights. With the timely intervention of Lifewater Liberia Inc, the people of Upper Caldwell now have a modern Afridev hand pump.
