We, the people of the Kichikpa community, write to appreciate Lifewater Canada/Nigeria for bringing hand pump borehole to our community. We pray that Almighty God blesses and keeps this organization to touch more lives in Jesus name. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Jerry Ayuba
I'm Shadrack John, a resident of the remote village of Kichikpa. We suffered greatly for lack of clean water. The only source was a foul pond shared with the village livestock. My family regularly fell ill with typhoid and diarrhea after drinking that contaminated water. Our wives braved snake bites to provide water for us, taking jerricans down the long path to that fetid pond. We nearly lost hope before Lifewater came. When they started drilling a borehole right in our village, it was a dream come true. Now we have clean, safe water flowing freely from the pump they installed. No more sickness! Our women and children are safe. We are so grateful to Lifewater for this incredible blessing of health and life. Our prayers never cease for the kind donors who sent them and made this miracle possible.
