A message from the community

In most humbly spirit, we the entire people of Akaleku community wish to express our sincere gratitude for the rehabilitation of our damaged borehole over 10 years. Today, been the 10th February, 2024, we have started using the borehole again. Thanks to Lifewater Canada/Nigeria. God bless you all.

Yours faithfully,

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

My name is Austin Audu Akeleku II. Before now, we have been having water challenges here in the Akeleku community. Our source of water is very poor. We have a stream, but the stream is far away. The one from which we are managing to get water has been messed up by the Fulani herdsmen We have to cross the highway most times to go in search of water, which causes accidents regularly. We lack good water to drink in this community.  We buy water most of the time, which costs us a lot. We are very grateful and happy to have Lifewater here in the Akeleku community to help rehabilitate our borehole. With the rehabilitation, we would no longer have to spend money buying water or cross the highway anymore. Thank you so much; we are so grateful.
