The villagers were thrilled to witness the installation of a pump in their area for the first time. Prior to this, they had been drawing water from unprotected sources, which were unsafe for consumption. The village chief expressed gratitude to Wells for Zoë for providing them with clean and safe water.

Although the community is poor, the people are hardworking and primarily rely on farming for their livelihoods. The pump installation has brought great relief, and they are hopeful for improved living conditions moving forward.
