Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
The workshop in Needowein Town was held on April 5th, 2010 with representatives from neighbouring villages attending as well. 31 participants attended to learn how disease is transmitted, how to purify their existing water supply, since the well was unsuccessfully drilled at this time, due to the hard rocky soil. Much time was spent with this group discussing & practicing handwashing, preparing ORS (oral rehydration solution) and how to keep their community clean. The representatives of Needowein praise God for the Health & Hygiene Team and the entire Lifewater family. They were excited about the education and willing to practice what they learned.
