A message from the community

Dear Sir: We would like to express our grateful appreciation to your excellent field crew for the work they did and the presentations that were mde to the 2 villages of Pelilewe and Demeta. The works was done quickly and everyone gave god praise and thanks for the new wells. The wells were turned over to the communities for their use and car. For Pelilewe this was a first. They have never had a proper well, only hand dug holes in the ground. Those members of the community who have taken on the responsibility of caretaker and maintenance of these wells are proud to have been chosen for this task. With grateful thanks

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

Pelilewe is a small Town that is highly populated with mainly children. The Town is situated on top of a low hill and surrounded by many swamps. The health and hygiene workshop was well attended and brought together some prominent members of the two villages for the first time in many years. The community made significant contribution to the drilling project, providing building materials, working alongside the drill team, providing food an dlodging for L-Linc workers and arranging for a survey of the property where the well was to be drilled.
