Margibi County - Acute shortage of safe drinking water and poor sanitary conditions still remain a challenged in most rural communities across Liberia. In low Margibi County, a county situated near the Capital Monrovia, residents continue to suffer from waterborne and other diseases, which sometimes lead to death due to lack of safe drinking water and poor sanitation condition. James Gboto, Nagbos town chief, told FrontPage Africa that residents of his town have been fetching water from uncovered wells and the bush for sanitation. “Our people used to go all the way to the Du-River to get drinking water and if the water dries, we have to dig near us to get water,” he said. I did not have safe drinking water, that Red Cross makes me to be drinking safe water.
