A message from the community

On behalf of Egbati Yisa community, we write to appreciate Lifewater Nigeria for the rehabilitation our hand pump borehole. The whole community is happy for what you have done for us. We all say a big thank you sir. Yours faithfully, Mohammed Ibrahim

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

I am Mohammed Mohammed from Egbati Yisa community. The rehabilitation of the borehole brought profound changes to the women of the community. Previously, women were often burdened with the task of water collection, which left them with little time for other pursuits. With access to clean water restored, women were able to invest in education, health, and small businesses. This newfound empowerment helped transform the community greatly, as women contributed to the growth and development of the village in ways that were previously not possible. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness, and may your organization continue to be a beacon of hope and compassion to those in need. We pray that God will reward your efforts and bless the work of your hands.
