This church is located near the beach front and is actually below sea level. This means during the seasonal rainy period the entire neighborhood is routinely flooded and can take as much as a week to drain away as long as there is no further rain. Residents in the area have to wade through stagnant and polluted water to move around. This is not a healthy living environment for them due to their water wells being flooded with the same water that is flooding the household toilets. This means no potable water for up to two weeks after the water has drained. The only source of water is bottled water from the stores that not everyone can afford. These residents are also at risk of contracting water-borne diseases such as cholera.]]> Robert Kern Mon, 16 Oct 2006 11:45:20 +1200 http://www.sitvf.org/articles/current_needs/s.o.s._for_flooded_church
