A message from the community

Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, We the people of Brown's Town Q#6 greet you with great joy and happiness in Christ Jesus. In this light, we want to tell you people thanks for your timely effort of conducting a workshop, which we have learned more about our health needs and safety through this wonderful and beautiful education you people provide for us through the workshop. Thank you, Moses Flomo, Resident Dear Sponsor, We thank you for providing us with safe drinking water through a hand pump. We now do take good care of what the Almighty God gave to our community. Respectfully, Charles Peawohn, Chief


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

Brown's Town Q#6 has a population of approximately 730 people. It is located in the horn of the town part of Kparnyah Community in the firestone area, close to the Margibi and Montserrado border. The burning of fire coal to sell is how most people make a living in the town. The lack of safe drinking water has been a serious challenge with many health problems as a result. A health & hygiene workshop was conducted on August 27,2019 with 30 participants, who learned how to purify their water and the importance of keeping their environment clean. A well was drilled with a hand pump installed, providing safe clean water, giving health and hope for a better future. 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!
