Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Koneween Town Q1 Community has a well that provides safe water to about 400 residents. A week ago, the well's hand pump stopped working. Children and adults were forced to drink from rivers and shallow hand-dug wells. These sources are open to the elements and therefore almost always contaminated -- putting people at risk of waterborne diseases. Through the support of our donors, we visited the community, repaired the pump, and restored the flow of safe water to young and old.
