A message from the community

We are deeply honored and grateful to have access to clean and safe water because we do have a new well. We thank you all so much for drilling a well in our village and installing a new hand pump. Our lives are forever changed. Thank you all so much.

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

Until Lifewater Canada provided a new clean source of water in Old Vai town in Liberia's Margibi county, the town dwellers relied on a nearby shallow well for their supply of water. The shallow well's water was unsafe for consumption. The residents and their children would often fall ill from drinking its water. 

The plight of the community inspired Lifewater Canada and Lifewater Liberia to drill a new well and install a hand pump in Vai town. The town dwellers are happy to enjoy drinking from a clean and safe source of water.
