A message from the community

On behalf of the entire people of Sondafako Central Mosque, we write to appreciate you for the rehabilitation of our hand pump water borehole in our village. The entire community is overwhelmed with this kind gesture received from your organization. Yours faithfully, Babadoko Adamu Secretary


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

I am Babadoko Adamu from Sondafako Central Mosque. We are extremely grateful to Lifewater for the privilege of receiving their assistance today. Their support means a lot to us. Before the borehole was rehabilitated, the mosque had to buy water for ablution and toilet use, which was costly and not sustainable for the growing congregation. The rehabilitation of the borehole changed everything. Not only did it provide the mosque with clean and accessible water, reducing the need to buy water, but it also became a vital resource for the entire community. The availability of water in the mosque allowed for more frequent prayers and a cleaner, more comfortable environment for worshippers. Moreover, the community surrounding the mosque also benefitted from the water source. People no longer had to walk long distances to fetch water, saving them time and energy. Thank you Lifewater for coming to make life much easier for us. We pray that God will reward your kind effort in abundance.
