A message from the community

We the people of Gwam Primary School, tender our heartfelt appreciation to Lifewater Canada/ Nigeria for their support in rehabilitating our borehole. May God reward you abundantly. Yours faithfully, Abrida Musa Paiko


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

My name is Bala Musa, and I am the assistant principal of Gwarm Primary School. The school needs more water, which has a significant impact on both teaching and learning. We are delighted that Lifewater has rehabilitated our students. During break time, students often return home in search of water, as the school lacks portable drinking water and water for sanitation. Despite the hard work of both students and teachers, our toilet remains unusable due to a lack of necessary water for maintenance. Maintain it. We thank the organization so much for coming to ease our suffering, prevent students from encountering waterborne diseases, and improve teaching and learning. On behalf of the entire staff and the community, we are grateful to Lifewater for coming to rehabilitate our borehole. It has made a big difference in our lives and our children's lives.
