WiL Village Partnership A Chiefs Speech

by Kristine Bender

At WATERisLIFE we offer the opportunity to partner with your own village -we can connect you with one of 288 villages in Northern Ghana, 18 schools in Kenya and one of 33 villages and schools/churches in Haiti.  Partnership equals relationships and this is how long term clean water can be brought to the villages to help transform lives.  WATERisLIFE can give you the opportunity to provide the following to your village – to bring them clean safe drinking water;

1.  WATERisLIFE personal water filters

2.  Health and Hygiene Education programs

3.  Long term clean water solution

4.  Monitoring system to maintain clean water in your village.

A WATERisLIFE team was in Ghana this past week and connected two US partners with villages in the Tolon District.  WiL presented the partners to the Village Chiefs – what an opportunity to connect with your own village and see your donation dollars in action and build a relationship that will transform lives – theirs and yours!  Please read the Chief of Zali’s Speech which he presented in Dagabani, and is translated below.  Once you meet the Chief of your partner village – and discuss how to bring clean water solutions to his people – it will be forever etched in your heart.

“What an incredible experience to visit our adopted village in Ghana!  Partnering with the people of Zali to bring water straws and work together on a sustainable solution was life-changing for all of us.  To see 1000 people dancing and celebrating our arrival is a moment I will never forget.” – Pastor Nate Schaus, Summit Community Church

The Chief’s Speech

Mr. Chairman, representative from the District Assembly, friends from the USA, invited guests, ladies and gentleman.  I find it a pleasant Sunday to stand before you to present on behalf of all Chiefs and Elders of Zali and it’s surrounding communities.

In the first place, I want to thank God for making this day possible.  Chiefs, as the saying goes that WATERisLIFE which we can all agree with because all living things depend on water for their daily lives.   I can also say that Zali is one of the blessing communities because ther are many regions, towns and communities but becuase of God’s caring, he chose Zali for this particular gathering and by the power and sympathy of God, we will get the water from the hands of the WATERisLIFE project.

Mr. Chairman, Sanitation is also one of the areas that the entire community always put their attention on .  This comes to reality because when we keep our homes and surroundings clean it will prevent us from contracting some diseases like cholera and others.

Mr. Chairman, the Chief’s, Elders and the entire community have prepared enough to work hard with the project to get safe drinking water for the good people of Zali.  This is because women travel long distance to fetch water which is sometimes contaminated by animals.

Chiefs, we can all testify that unsafe water is very dangerous to human health.  So when we get clean and safe water it will save the lives of the people of Zali and it’s surrounding communites both near and far.  Therefore, it is my hope and prayer that God will guide us to get this water since God is the owner of everything in the universe.

In sum, Mr. Chairman, whatever it will take us with this project to get water, we are in support of that.  I want to also appeal to the District Assembly to also assist us and the project whatever we are in need of to make this dream a reality.  So, I say God richly bless you for coming here and be with us all “Ni yi tuma pam,” “Naawuni ni son”
