A message from the community

Dear Sir,

Greetings in Jesus' mighty name!   We the members of Upper Bible Joe Community have taken this time to send our appreciation for the excellent workshop that was conducted for us recently.  It was informative and very useful.

We are very happy for the pump that is now in our community giving us safe water to drink.  We are praying that the Lord give you more strength to help us further in the days to come.

May God hear our prayers and bless you abundantly

Matthew Gbawereh

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

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.
