Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
A week ago, after the hand pump on the well in Koneween Town Q2 Community failed, residents had to begin drinking from unsafe water sources -- local creeks and rivers. These sources aren't safe so they put children and adults at risk of becoming sick with waterborne diseases. This is why everyone was very happy today to welcome a team from Lifewater that, thanks to our generous donors, repaired the broken hand pump and restored safe water in the community.
