Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Two months ago, the hand pump on Gehwee community's well stopped working. Everyone was forced to begin buying water from expensive vendors. Although the vendor water is safe, the cost put an enormous strain on most families' budgets. But thanks to Lifewater Canada donors, we have repaired the hand pump and rehabilitated the well so safe, affordable water is flowing again in Gehwee community.
