A message from the community

On behalf of Dazhila community in Musha II, I wish to express our profound appreciation to Lifewater Nigeria for coming to rescue us from water scarcity. We are facing scarcity for a long time now, our women trek to distant streams to fetch water that is dirty and unsafe for drinking. With the intervention gotten Lifewater, in rehabilitating our borehole, we are very excited and grateful. God bless your organization for this free humanitarian service you have rendered. Thanks immensely. Yours sincerely, Obadiah Benjamin Nmodu 08036685147 08121495637


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

Dazhila is a close-knit farming community in Obi Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, where daily life revolves around tending crops and caring for families. For months, the community's only borehole was broken, forcing residents to make long, tiring journeys to fetch water from distant streams. The contaminated water led to frequent illnesses that kept children out of school and slowed down farm work. During our visit, we didn't just fix the borehole but restored hope through safe water. We carefully rehabilitated the pump and tested the water to ensure it was safe. As safe water began to flow again, the atmosphere in Dazhila changed. Women no longer had to spend hours walking for water, freeing them to nurture their farms and families. Children returned to school healthier and more energetic. The repaired borehole has become a lifeline, strengthening the community's health, education, and future
