A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor,

Thank you very much for the well, we really needed safe water for our community. I have lived in this community for 53 years and I am a carpenter. The lack of safe drinking water has been a big problem, because when it rains we always flood which contaminates hand dug wells. Buying water is a problem for the poor so it has been difficult. We have learned the importance of keeping the area around the well clean, and we will do this. We ask God to continue protecting and blessing you, thank you for giving water to Haiti.

Thank you,

Toussaint Etienne
