Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Dark Forest Community Q2 is in the county of Grand Bassa. As a community populated with over 1,500 inhabitants, it had a pressing for a pump repair. Most, in their search for safe drinking water, would walk miles. This would leave children late for school and women abandoning their businesses just to get a bucket of water. The Lifewater team moving in the county was a great relief to this community. ‘‘We usually have water in our pump all year round but since our pump spoiled, we now travel long distance for water," one local said. Now that Lifewater repaired the pump, life has returned to normal in Dark Forest Community Q2. Walking through the community, anyone can visibly sense the relief Lifewater's repair work brought the people.
