 Project Summary

 
   An elder of this community, Mr. Albert Walker, said he had long hoped that one day someone will come their rescue to help them get save drinking water and today not only are they going to get, but they have also been taught how to purify their drinking water and they still await the construction of their hand pump. He said they (community members) are happy to learn that running stomach can be prevented that they can make their own ORS in their homes when their children stomach run.

 Testimonial

 
   Dear Sir:

The Chairlady, Elders and Residents of Seekey community, Duport Road, District #6, Paynesville city extend, on behalf of the Community, our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to your organization for initiating the process to install a Handpump for the provision of safe drinking water for this community.

Prior to this initiative, the Residents of Seekey have sought drinking water from unhealthy sources: wells, covered and exposed, while others travel outside of this community as far as the Duport Road clinic (MOH).

When the instilation is complete, you will have greatly lessened the burden our community has, in acquiring safe drinking water and will positively contribute to the health of the residents of Seekey, a laudable venture.

Please accept our thanks and appreciation in advance and we urge that you continue your philantrophic humanitarian gestures to other needy communities in and around Paynesville City. You can be assured that upon completion of this project, we will certainly call upon you again as the need arises.

Best regards

Sincerely yours,

Wallace L. Stewart, Sr.
Acting Chairman
