Education plays a vital role in the progress of communities, and Shaga Primary School serves as a cornerstone for the development of its young generation. However, like many schools in rural Niger State, access to basic necessities like clean water can be a significant challenge, impacting the health and well-being of students and staff. For Mubaraka Ilya, a dedicated teacher at Shaga Primary School, the lack of clean water had created significant obstacles to the students' learning and overall school environment. As Teacher Mubaraka recounts with heartfelt relief: "I am Mubaraka Ilya, a teacher at Shaga Primary School. For several months, our students faced immense difficulties due to the lack of clean water at school. They had to carry heavy containers of water from home, often skipping breakfast just to make it on time. Many fell sick from dehydration and waterborne diseases, and school attendance suffered." Teacher Mubaraka's words paint a vivid picture of the daily struggles faced by the students. The burden of carrying water from home was physically demanding and time-consuming, often at the expense of their morning nutrition and punctuality. The lack of clean water at school also led to health issues, directly impacting their ability to concentrate and attend classes regularly, hindering their education. The intervention of Lifewater brought a transformative change to Shaga Primary School, directly addressing this critical need. Teacher Mubaraka describes the profound impact of their support: "When Lifewater steeped in and rehabilitate our nonfunctional borehole, it was a game-changer. Clean water is now readily available for drinking and washing, improving the health and concentration of our students. Attendance and academic performance have soared, and the entire school community is thriving. We are forever grateful for this incredible support." The rehabilitation of the school's borehole has had a remarkable effect. The ready access to clean water has alleviated the burden on students, ensuring they are hydrated and healthy, leading to improved concentration in the classroom. The reduction in waterborne diseases has significantly boosted school attendance, allowing students to consistently pursue their education. The overall school environment has flourished, creating a healthier and more conducive learning space. Teacher Mubaraka concludes with deep gratitude: "We are forever grateful for this incredible support." This story from Shaga Primary School underscores the vital role that access to clean water plays in enabling education and fostering a thriving learning environment. Your continued support empowers Lifewater to make such impactful changes in schools and communities, investing in the future of Nigeria's children.
