A message from the community

Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Okana Market village well is serving over two hundred village people. When the hand pump was broken, the people of Okana Market turned to the shallow wells as their source of water. Even though they were aware that the available sources were unsafe for their health, they did not have a better choice. Thankfully, Lifewater repaired the broken hand pump, and through the thoughtful hand pump repair, the people of Okana Market are happy to enjoy access clean and sage water from the village well.
