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

Sundaygar Town Q#2 is located along the Robert International Airport Highway between Sugar Hill Town and Smell No Taste Town, within the Margibi County.  This community was established by William Sundaygar and named after him who is now deceased.

This town has approximately 950 citizens, and is blessed with one day care facility, elementary school and a Church. Farming and charcoal burning is the main source of living for this community.

This area is very swampy and during the rainy season all the hand dug wells over flow and become contaminated. Providing drinking water becomes extremely difficult, during the rainy season and people end up drinking the swampy water, which causes many to be sick. 

On September 13, 2019 Lifewater Liberia conducted a Health & Hygiene Workshop for this community with 20 participants. The people learned that their hands must always be washed before eating and after using the toilet and the importance of clean surroundings.

The workshop ended with thanks and appreciation from the people. Safe clean water flows for children and their families in Sundaygar Town Q#2

 

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!
