“For sure, you are not only donors, but our true friends. You live very far away from us, you have never seen us, but you were able to come to our assistance . . . So, if I call you friends, I am 100% right. Thank you very much for being so kind and generous to even people you have never known or seen. . .

“I can even spend a full day telling you how beneficial [the borehole] is to us and how you have saved uncountable humanity’s lives. But I think from the little I have narrated, it is enough for you to read our hearts."

—Kiwanuka Edward, village chairperson 

“The entire community is located in a swampy area with dirty water not fit for human beings. But it is the one we have been using for cooking and washing, together with animals because this is also cattle keeping area. Not only that, our children have been losing a lot of time daily because of long distances searching for water in those valleys, in the swamps. Also, collecting water on the side of our children at times has been very dangerous because some parts of the swamps are deeper. Some past years we experienced accidents of students drowning in those deeper areas."

“Convey our sincere thanks to these donors, and tell them that they will never, ever imagine how they have saved us from using/drinking dirty water. Can you imagine that many people are coming from very far, as far as four miles away to collect water from this borehole? This means that there has been no such a water source with clean and safe waters in all this area . . .

“Tell St. Thérèse Foundation that we do not have the correct words to thank them. Let the good Lord who is good all the time do that on our behalf."

“Truly, our children in the school have been sharing water with animals. I, myself, have been one of the teachers sending these kids every day to a dirty pond to collect water to prepare their school meals. I have to admit that, but I had nowhere else to send them to.

“But now, with such a good water source, I will proudly send them to fetch water knowing that what they will bring in those containers is very safe water, worthy drinking for human beings. For that reason, thank you dear donors, for saving not only our children but the entire community from the many diseases associated with unsafe waters."
