A new well in Angwan Musa Akpaki, #Nigeria, has made a life-changing difference! Women used to collect #water from a dirty pond. Today, they & 100s of kids & adults have the safe water they need. "We do not have the exact words to be used in thanking you for this great gesture."

🎉 Join in with the community of Angwan Musa Akapki as they #celebrate their new well! What do you think it would be like to watch a #safewater source develop before your eyes? Stay tuned for the end result later this week! #sdg6 #waterwednesday #waterwell #watercharity #goal6

Imagine a lack of water & the cost of menstrual #hygiene products determining if you get an education. Lifewater has been partnering with STADA Kenya (Thrive Sister) to create 'Dignity Kits'. These are handed out at schools & contain washable, re-useable sanitary pads! youtube.com/watch?v=XZcDxD…

A well rehabilitation in Angwan Kwata Baidna has brought #safewater back to this Nigerian community! People no longer have to walk long distances, carry back-breaking contaminated water, or use hard-earned $ to buy #water. “We are very happy & thankful for the love & support”

Grand Carrefour Lory is a village in #Haiti with 900 children & adults. They faced constant costs to get water needed to survive. This changed when Lifewater, thanks to our donors, drilled a new #waterwell! 💧 "We spend so much money on water, well now God answered our prayers."

The local well failed in Boku Pati, #Nigeria, but families needed water for households, farmers for crops, & herdsmen for livestock. What was available was a very contaminated river. Lifewater rehabilitated the well & the #safewater today brings improved community health & peace!

850 people live in Mende’s Town Community #Liberia. They had a deep well that failed & left residents with no choice but to return to old water sources. This went on for a year until we visited & rehabilitated the well. Ppl in Mende's Town are now drinking safe water again! #SDG6

Residents of Alipi Village, #Nigeria, told us of a 35-year struggle to survive without a well! A murky river was the only option, even when the water was known to cause disease & death. With support of our donors, Lifewater drilled a well. Now there is safe, accessible #water! 💧

On Sept. 29th at 7:30 p.m. EDT, Lifewater Canada will hold its Annual General Meeting! If you’d like to join in online via Zoom, please email [email protected] to receive an invitation and link. #watercharity #watergoals #canadiancharity #waterislife #SDG6

There are 200 members of Manahim Baptist Church in #Haiti & around 1,800 kids & adults living in the surrounding community. All of these people struggled to meet their water needs. Thanks to our donors, we drilled a well & now there is safe, accessible water - what a blessing!

“We the people of Gabadna wish to thank Lifewater Canada & Lifewater Nigeria for helping to repair our borehole” When their well's handpump stopped working, finding water became a cost & health risk for ppl in Gabadna Community, #Nigeria. Today, there is safe water for everyone!

Tomorrow, we set off on our 1st international conference in #Africa! It will bring drilling teams in #Kenya together & include drilling team members from #Nigeria & #Liberia. This allows for the unique chance to share drilling operating & maintenance knowledge between countries.

Peter Alkali, from Angwan Pah Mai Nasara in #Nigeria, wrote a thank you letter on behalf of his community. Lifewater repaired the village pump, & doing so ended a nightmare of drinking water like in the photo. “We say thank you, may our good God in heaven reward you abundantly.”

On this #Thanksgiving weekend, we’d like to share a thank-you letter with you: “Thanks for coming to repair our well pump. We've been suffering going to the river to get water. Sometimes cows pollute it, causing sickness. Today, we are so grateful that Lifewater came to our aid.”

This photo is from our first international conference in Kenya. It shows 1 of Lifewater Canada’s African teams demonstrating well-drilling methods with a new LS200 rig. Drilling teams from Liberia, Nigeria, & across Kenya met together to share knowledge & learn from each other.

October 15th is #GlobalHandwashingDay! It was created to increase awareness of the importance of handwashing with soap & water as an effective way to prevent disease & save lives. Many homes around the world don’t have easy access to water, but your support helps meet this need💧

Today is #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty. For 24hrs the UN asks us all to discuss/consider ways to help eliminate poverty. WASH programs create conditions that break cycles of poverty. Our work w/ STADA Kenya (Thrive Sister) in making dignity kits of reusable pads is a great example!

Take a look at some of the amazing work happening in the country of #Liberia! 100s of pump repairs have recently been conducted, & this vital work in restoring broken-down wells is bringing safe water back to many communities! ✨💧 #sdg6 #watermatters
