Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
When the hand pump on the school well stopped working two years ago, students at Gbarmue Public school in Liberia's Bong county struggled to observe proper hygiene, and they would leave the school premises to drink from other distant sources. Overall, the lack of clean drinking water in the school negatively affected performance and health of the students. Thankfully, things are looking up now, after Lifewater Canada funded the repair of the broken down hand pump, thus restoring the flow of clean and safe water in the school.
