Some community details (provided by our in-country partners) |
||||||||||||||||||
The residents of Mandara, in the Akwanga area of Nigeria's Nasarawa State, suffered from a lack of water for 20 years. People would depend on shallow hand-dug wells and a distant river to meet their drinking and sanitation needs. Water was so scarce that many children would go to school without bathing. The water from the shallow wells and river wasn't safe, so there were many reported cases of skin rashes, itchy bodies, and diarrhea in Mandara. Thanks to Lifewater's arrival, and the support of our donors, a deep well has been drilled in the community so safe and accessible water is flowing for everyone. Residents' pain and frustration are things of the past. |
