A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor,

My name is Mercilien Mettelus, I have lived in this community for 45 years. I am married to Adeline and have one child. I find masonry odd jobs to do but I do not have a full time job.  Most of the community are farmers and live from their gardens. Before the well was drilled people would have to walk 2 kilometers to get to another well.

We have been dreaming every day about this well, because it has been very hard for us to walk so far to find water. Thank you very much for providing this well. Only God can pay you back, all we can do is continue to pray for all of you.

Thanks again,

Mercilien Mettelus, Well Caretaker
