The arrival of Lifewater marked a turning point for the community. Lifewater provided Zagyo with a year-round, reliable source of safe water by drilling a new borehole for them. This transformation dramaticallyimproved the health of the community, reducing disease outbreaks, and allowing girls to return to school.
