A message from the community |
We write this letter to express our heartfelt gratitude to you. Our hearts are full of joy after your organization repaired (the pump on) our borehole (or well). We are very grateful. -- Community Leaders |
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners) |
Communities around the famous Nigerian Prison in Kuje are not spared the scourge of poor water supplies, due to hand pumps on wells inevitably breaking down. While the pumps remain broken, people resort to open hand-dug wells and streams. The risk of waterborne disease is always there. Lifewater’s repair team visited the area, looking for broken hand pumps and found two, including this one. Minor repairs were carried out and the communities were happy to have working pumps again, within close proximity. We are thankful to God for the opportunity to make an impact in people’s lives. |
