A message from the community

On behalf of the people of Wumi Matei community, I wish to show our sincere appreciation to Lifewater for your endless effort, time and money in providing us with borehole in our community. The only source of water in our community is from the stream or river. Today, we have hand pump borehole. We pray that God rewards your organization abundantly. We are forever grateful for this wonderful opportunity. 

Yours faithfully,  

Yakubu Abdulkarim

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

My name is Yakubu Abdulkerim. I am filled with immense gratitude for the selfless efforts of Lifewater Nigeria in addressing our community's severe water crisis. Your timely intervention in drilling a new borehole during our time of hardship is greatly appreciated. Previously, we purchased water daily, and our wives and children endured long walks to fetch water. The water we consumed was contaminated and unsafe. 

Now, with access to clean and potable water, our lives and personal hygiene will significantly improve. This act of kindness towards our community will always be remembered and appreciated. May God bless you all.
