A message from the community

Dear Mr. Kollie, We write to say thanks ever so much for solving our problem as it relates to getting safe drinking water. Our children used to travel far distance to the nearest hand dug well since that was the only source and a distance from here. Now we have a new hand pump we are very happy. May God bless you and all those who made it possible for us to get this new hand pump. Signed, Saah F. Tamba Chairman, Community
