Bible Joe town is name after the man who started living in this fishing dominant community as the major means of livelihood for the locals of this town. The town is located along the Marshall city newly path road leading to Marshal town, Mabakaba district, upper Margibi county. This town is high populated mostly the young people, whose livelihood depend mostly on fishing from the ocean and the women in this town depend on that and small businesses to support their families. But what is most discouraging about life in this part of Liberia is, though the town is one hour's drive from the capitol Monrovia, the people have no impact from center government in term of Basic social services not to even mention safe drinking water sources! The people here population is more the five thousand (5,000) people they depend on open hand dug wells for water. When we (lLifewater drilling) team entered the town to drill the wells for them, they so happy that everybody came to see the machines working for the first time in the history of this town. They were so grateful to God and thankful to sponsors and drilling team. |
