I am Mr. Usmaan Audu of Kuchi community, Niger State, Lapai Local Government. We are Anguwa Bassa community, Kuchi, Kebba. We are showing our appreciation or happiness to your kindness or effort for the provision of portable water. We really appreciate in our community. Anguwan Bassa community really our people are rejoicing and joying for you people for providing good life water. May God continue to everyone of you in Jesus name (amen) Yours faithfully, Usman Audu For the resilient people of Kuchi Village, also known as the Ebbo community, nestled within the Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria, life has long been a tapestry woven with the threads of agricultural tradition and the constant threat of the Niger River's unpredictable nature. Historically, they have cultivated the fertile lands, growing vital crops like rice, yam, and sweet potatoes, and their herds of cattle graze the surrounding areas. Beyond the fields, the spirit of Kuchi thrives in bustling trade, skilled craftsmanship, and dedicated service within the growing public sector, a testament to their adaptability since the establishment of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University in 2005. Yet, this community's history is also etched with the indelible marks of environmental adversity. Living in close proximity to the Niger River Basin, the Kuchi people have faced the devastating consequences of recurring floods. The years 1989, 1995, 1996, 2012, and 2020 stand as stark reminders of the times when the mighty rivers swelled, bringing displacement, destroying livelihoods, and testing their remarkable resilience. Time and again, they have picked up the pieces, their community spirit serving as a bedrock of recovery. However, beyond the dramatic impact of floods, a more persistent and insidious challenge plagued their daily lives. As Isa Inusa, a resident of Kuchi Village, poignantly shared, "My name is Isa Inusa, and I am from Kuchi Village, our major challenge here in Kuchi Village is lack of water. we were in desperate need of clean and sufficient water before the coming of Lifewater." For the people of Kuchi, a basic necessity, the very essence of life, was a daily struggle. The available water sources were often insufficient and, critically, unsafe, impacting their health and wellbeing. But the arrival of Lifewater has brought a profound and deeply felt change. As Isa Inusa gratefully recounts, "Lifewater coming to our aid means a lot to us. Today we are so overjoyed that Lifewater has taken upon herself to provide our most wanted need for us by providing us with a new borehole." This act of generosity has resonated deeply within the community. "Our lives feel better once again," Isa affirms, his words echoing the collective relief and joy of Kuchi Village. The provision of clean, accessible water has not only addressed a critical health concern but has also brought a renewed sense of hope and dignity. Isa's heartfelt prayer encapsulates the community's gratitude: "We pray the lord continue to empower the organization and keep increasing the organization financial strength so it can keep doing this good work. God bless you Lifewater." This story underscores the transformative power of a single act of kindness, turning a long-standing struggle into a testament of hope and the profound impact of clean water on a resilient community striving for a better future.
