A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, My name is Jaurilia Petit frère, I am the caretaker of this new well. I have been living here for 59 years now, my children live with me, three of my children have died. Before receiving this well in our community, we would walk 1 kilometer to get water from another well. I am happy to take care of the well, keeping it clean and protected, if we have any problems I know the number to call Lifewater Haiti. On behalf of our community, I say thank you for this well, we have suffered a lot to get some water. Sometimes we had to pay someone to carry the water for us because the pump was too far, but now we have our own well, a gift from you. Thank you again and God bless you. Jaurilia Petit frère, Well Caretaker
