A message from the community |
We as a community want to thank Lifewater Liberia for repairing our pump. We extend our thanks and appreciation to the repair team that came today. We want to say that with Lifewater Liberia, we are safe. Prince D. Kiamue, Community Leader |
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners) |
This community is outside of the city of Buchanan in Grand Bassa County. Lifewater drilled a well there a few year ago that serves a population that has grown to about 1,400 people. That is too many people using one well, and so the hand pump failed a few months ago. That forced people to go back to shallow hand-dug wells or to buying their water. The situation was eased when the Lifewater team visited and repair the broken pump and restored their safe water source.The pump was down for just over 3 weeks. The community members, children and leaders, gathered to celebrate their repaired well. They gave thanks to the repair team and the Lifewater sponsors.
