 Testimonial

 
   Godin is a 200 year-old community in Haiti of about two thousand people. In the past we drunk any water we could find that was not “dirty” which was usually about one to two kilometers away from where the community’s new pump was installed. The nearby river was often dry. The water we drank resulted in two main health issues: worms and typhoid. Our main sources of revenue is farming (Bean, Plantains, and Corn) and fishing.

Thanks to the new pump being installed by Lifewater, the health and economy of our community is greatly improved. God bless you for caring so much for His children.
