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

On June 22,2017 a Health & Hygiene Workshop was held for the people in Tumu Town and 30 people participated, they were very glad to have the workshop and asked Lifewater to come again. Tumu Town is located along the Bong Mines road near Kitoku Town, the people that live here are mostly women and children. This town desperately needed safe water, since their only source was hand dug wells resulting in many health issues. With this new well, safe water will protect and promote good health. Thank you for giving "Water for Life". This well was drilled as part of a cooperative NGO initiative to provide safe drinking water to all Liberian's. Thanks to ''The Last Well Inc.'' for their coordination and support!
