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

My heart overflows with gratitude to both God Almighty and Lifewater Nigeria for the life-altering gift of a new borehole in our community. Before this, our daily lives were marred by a constant struggle to access clean water. Each morning, our children would be forced to embark on a lengthy search for water, often arriving at school late and covered in dust from the journey. The water they brought back was not only unhygienic, but it also posed a health risk, causing headaches, typhoid, malaria, and skin rashes. Lifewater Nigeria's intervention has brought about a dramatic change in our community. The new borehole now provides us with readily available clean water, eliminating the need for those exhausting morning expeditions. Our children can finally focus on their education, arriving at school clean and on time. The burden of waterborne illnesses has been lifted, and we experience a newfound sense of health and well-being. All of this is possible thanks to the compassion and generosity of Lifewater Nigeria. Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude for this change. We are forever indebted to the dedicated individuals who made this well a reality. May God bless each and every one of you for your unwavering commitment to improving our lives. Lifewater Nigeria, you are a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of change. Thank you for transforming our community and for giving us a brighter future.
