A message from the community

There are about 200 adults in this village with 300 children. They were using another village hand pump over 1 km away or buying water. This village has been established for a long time and has suffered constantly from diarrhea and bad taste. The village is basically an agricultural based economy selling legumes, banana etc. In the Naud country, a lot of what you are doing is looking good, because we used to go very far to get water. We have been praying for someone to come to help us with a handpump and we pray that you not be discouraged in the good works that you put your hands to.
