The chief of the community, Torgbe Gati expressed their deepest appreciation to the foundation on behalf of the people. “We never knew this was a serious project because many NGO’s came to us with promises but couldn’t fulfill them” he added. He assured the foundation of their readiness to take proper care of the water. He pleaded with the foundation to help them construct a toilet facility which is one of the pressing needs of the community.

Mr. Hayford Amlado on his part thanked the foundation for helping the community and making his work easy. He also asked the people to take good care of the machine.
