A message from the community
Dear sir: Chema Mixed primary School is very happy to have a new water well for their facility. We have 500 students this year taught by 27 teachers and all are very grateful for this new safe well that you have provided for them to draw from. It is so much better than the hand dug well that was open to contamination. Thank you very very much! Sincerely The Student body and staff
