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

My name is Augustine Filibus. Since our only borehole spoiled, the community has desperately needed water. The lack of water has significantly impacted our daily activities and productivity. Water is essential for almost everything we do. Our children go to school late because they search for water each morning before heading to school. It was difficult until Lifewater heard our plea and rescued us by rehabilitating our spoilt and damaged borehole. Thank you so much for coming to the community for assistance. We now have clean water, and our children will become more punctual at school again. Thank you so much, and God bless Lifewater, Nigeria, and Canada.
