It is with a joyful heart that we thank Lifewater Canada for the repair of our broken hand pump. We have gone without clean water for a long time. We are so grateful that clean water is back.

Five weeks ago, the hand-powered pump on the well at Down F-Sham School in Soul Clinic Community stopped working. It forced about 800 children and adults at the school and in the homes surrounding it to begin gathering water from a nearby river. The river is contaminated, so drinking from it put everyone at risk of contracting diarrheal diseases. There were water vendors available, but very few residents could afford them.

Recently, however, Lifewater repaired the pump. Now the grateful community, thanks to our donors, has access to safe water again.
