A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor,

My name is Milor Judeline, I am the caretaker of this new well. I have lived in this community for 31 years, I have 3 children and we live with my parents. My home is close to the well and I will make sure the area is kept clean and protected. Before this well we would walk 2 kilometers to get water from another well. On behalf of the community, we say thank you for this big gift of water, that cost a lot of money. Thank you to everyone who contributed, and we ask God to continue to bless you all.

Sincerely,

Milor Judeline, Well Caretaker
