This town is in Kokoyah district, Bong County, Liberia. It is also near the St. John River. This town was established by a family called Doe. Doe Town is a very big town with high population, mainly women and children with increasing numbers. Doe is built on a low land and the land formation is very wet. Because of this town been near the St, John River, the inhabitants fine it very difficult in getting safe drinking water. It gets so bad during the wet season when all sources of water get polluted from the flow of the river. The few hand dug wells that can be seen around cannot serve the community, leaving children to go far away to fetch water from the river. Recently a little girl by name Nancy Flomo got drown when she went to the river in search for a safe drinking water. This Afridev hand pump that has been installed by Lifewater Liberia have given hope to the people of Doe Town. 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!
