Testimonial |

We thank you Lifewater for rehabilitating our well. We gave up hope that this well would ever function again, due to a lack of funds to repair it. Villagers had to rely on water from the pond for their daily survival. Thank you for helping us resolve this problem. We pray that God bless you and all you do. -- Mr. Peter M., Community Leader |

Project Summary |
||||||||||||||||||
With no nearby water source after the pump on their local well failed, students at L.E.A. Primary School in Sabon Gari Gurfata Community were forced to walk long distances each day to the nearest streams. This kept them out of the classroom and put them at risk of being hit by passing vehicles or being attacked while they travelled through isolated areas. Through the support of Lifewater Canada donors, the well has been rehabilitated (including a new hand pump) and is now providing safe and readily accessible water to the school and surrounding community. |
