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

The site is located in a part of town that is developing. Usually, such areas are inhabited by non-indigenes which means political leaders may not attend speedily to the urgent infrastructural needs including water. This is well is the first in that whole are serving a fast, growing settlement. A Christian Missionary group operates from here and the well is sited in their property but available to everyone. The water well just constructed remains a testimony of God’s kindness. As the rig was driven to location, animosity among residents due to religious beliefs and the Muslims would not let the Christians disconnect their power cables which was in the way of the truck. As soon as we indicated that we came assist the community with water which would be open to all, all arguments ended. The missionary who lives near the well for the first time received visits from Muslim members of the community for the first time. God’s love breaks barriers.
