Abioga is a small agrarian community in Obi Local Government, Nasarawa State. Most families here depend on farming to make a living. For several years, people faced great difficulty after their only borehole broke down. With the pump and pipes damaged, the community had no option but to fetch water from small streams and shallow wells. These contaminated water sources often led to frequent cases of typhoid and diarrhea, especially among children and the elderly. Women and young girls also bore the burden of trekking long distances daily just to get water. During our visit, we rehabilitated the broken borehole and restored water to the community. Safe water has brought great relief to Abioga. With safe water readily available, health has improved, work and cooking made easy, and families have more time and energy to focus on farming.
