We found people dancing as we entered the village, and villagers were very happy to see us installing a pump in their village for the first time. People had been drawing water from rivers, which was not safe for human consumption. The chief of the village thanked Wells for Zoë for providing them with good, safe water free of charge.

People in the area depend on farming for their livelihoods. They are poor but hard-working. Early marriages are common in the area because the nearest secondary school is too far from the village.
