The people of Kitikpa had to walk about four kilometres to the nearest source of safe water. "We would go through a lot of hardship in getting it," recalls Alhaji Yusuf, a local resident. "Most times, the water available was not enough for everyone, which caused people to fight over it." Going back and forth to the distant source also used up time each day that women needed for other household responsibilities and children needed to be in school. But today, thanks to a new well funded by Lifewater Canada donors, the water crisis in Kitikpa is over. |
