A message from the community

We the entire members of Gbagi Ladi 1 wish to appreciate Lifewater Organization for coming to our aid in rehabilitating our damaged borehole which for a long time was forgotten.

Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

My name is Yakubu, and we're all here today to witness Lifewater Nigeria and Lifewater Canada's rehabilitation of our borehole. Given the numerous water-related challenges we have faced in the community, we all appreciate the work. During the dry season, the scarcity becomes so tough on all of us in the community. Words alone cannot say how thankful we are to see the borehole rehabilitated today. Our fears of not having water have vanished; there is no more use of alum sulphate for purification. We are extremely grateful to Lifewater's management. Thank you very much, and may God continue to bless you.
