A message from the community

On behalf of Dukpa II, GRA community, I want to thank and appreciate Lifewater Nigeria for the provision of clean and portable water we requested for. You have by this kind gesture saved the community from the prevailing challenge and difficulty of getting water that we have experienced over the years. Thank you and God bless Lifewater Nigeria. Yours faithfully, Mr. Esabu Stephen For the community


Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

Dukpa II is a close-knit community in Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT Abuja, where many families earn their living through small businesses. For a long time, the community faced serious challenges with access to safe water. Residents had to rely on unsafe stagnant water sources, which led to typhoid, fever, and cholera. Children fell sick frequently and became weak. Lifewater came to the community's rescue and drilled a new borehole in Dukpa II, bringing safe water right into the community. This has made a big difference in residents' daily lives. Women and children no longer have to walk far to fetch water, and health problems related to dirty water have dropped. With easy access to water, families now focus more on farming, education, and other activities that improve their lives. The entire community appreciates Lifewater for this life-changing support and the renewed strength it brought to Dukpa II.
