WELL COMPLETED & COMMISSIONING AHEAD
On May 17, we broke ground on our fifth solar-powered water well, outside the Ogwuge Health Center. Your generosity also allowed us to provide light fixtures, fans, and other amenities for the clinic. Commissioning is scheduled for August 30. I am planning a site visit later this year to see firsthand the impact your support has made.
