A message from the community
We are having a wonderful time pumping water from our well after the repairs. We are grateful that it is working once again. Thank you all so much for saving us from long trips to collect water. ---Community Leaders
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
The only source of safe water for children and adults living in Israel community Q4 is their local well. So when the well's hand pump failed, everyone had to walk several kilometres to the nearest alternate source. The time needed for these trips at least once each day kept parents from income-earning opportunities and kept children from school. Lifewater donors brought hope back to the community by enabling us to repair the broken hand pump, rehabilitate the well, and restore the flow of safe, easily accessible water.
