On Jan 11,2018 a Health & Hygiene Workshop was conducted with 21 participants. Tokpah Town is located along the Liberia Rock Crusher highway, in the district of Kokoyah, and County of Bong. In this large community live mostly women and children, and the people here earn their living by farming, fishing, logging, and crushing of rock. This town has been having a lot of problems with a lack of safe drinking water. There is one hand dug well in this town which cannot serve all the people. The hand dug well also goes dry during the dry season, after which the people then turn to the river to get drinking water, this same river is used for washing clothes, cooking and bathing. With the blessing from God, Lifewater Liberia was able to dig a 70ft well fitted with a Afridev hand pump saving the people of Tokpah Town from drinking the water from the river. This well was drilled as part of a cooperative NGO initiative to provide safe drinking water to all Liberian's. Thanks to ''The Last Well Inc.'' for their coordination and support!
