Dear Sir,

We as a village want to extend our thanks to all who have come together to make this project possible. The handpump is durable and we are so very happy for all the safe water that comes freely out of it to service our community.

We offer our thanks and appreciate to the Last well and to Lifewater Liberia who have come to our aid in a time of acute need.

In God's name

Government Farm Q#2 is located along the Marshall City Highway, Margibi County. In the 18th century, this Town was known as Zoewehn in the Bassa tribe meaning "Women First Stage'. This name referred to 13-year-od women when they returned from the indigenous religious ceremony "Sandy Society Bush". This was a traditional society for women who returned to the community marked as mature women (Zoewehn). They were protected from the touch of men until they were married which occured soon after they entered society.

Later this Town's name was change to Government Farm by the Late President William R. Tolbert Jr. who planted lots of coconut trees on the entire land, while working with the locals dwellers. The goal was to help make the people more self-sufficient with respect to food.

It is large and populated with children, the most number in our head count. It is poor in terms of development with no modern facilities like latrines nor clinics. They have 2 churches and 1 school with most of their houses built with palm thatches and mats made from bamboo trees.They sustain their livelihood from cassava farming, burning charcoal, fishing and planting sugar cane.

Since 1987 because of the growth of the population, dwellers began fetching water from the creek nearby and from a few hand dug wells. The water they use for drinking and other domestic purposes causing them to suffer from various water borne diseases like running stomach, skin rashes, typhoid etc.

The Health and Hygiene Team of Lifewater Liberia through its Sponsor gave a complete training on the basic Hygiene practices to relief them of their suffering and stay healthy.

The people were very moved by the gift of safe drinking water. Both Christians and Muslims alike gave thanks to God and there was much celebrating with songs and clapping. The people pledged to take great care of the pumps and not let it spoil and sit broken.
