A message from the community

Dear Sir,

I have lived in this community for 39 years. In all that time we have not had a place to draw safe drinking water from. Now that Lifewater has come life is changing. My kids don't have to walk so far for water (over 1 km) and more importantly they will be healthier.. We have suffered for a long time and now in such a short time, you have changed everything.

On behalf of everyone, Thank you!

Rose Lourde
