A message from the community

The entire people of Takusa Mada community, wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Lifewater over the repairs of our borehole. The only source of water in our community is well which is not even safe for human consumption, but because we do not have choice, we had to take it like that. With the intervention of Lifewater, we can now drink good water. Yours faithfully, Silas Samson 08069574923


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

Located within the Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, the community of Takusa Mada faced a severe health risk after their borehole broke down, forcing them to rely on a stream shared with animals. This unsafe water source created a daily struggle and financial burden for the residents. As Silas Samson, a resident of Takusa Mada, recounts with heartfelt relief: "I appreciate Lifewater for coming to repair our borehole as we have been drinking water from the stream with animals after the borehole went bad. It's been months of suffering and buying water because we have no other sources of clean water. Thank you so much for coming to assist us. Our sources of clean drinking water is working again. Thank you so much." The months of relying on contaminated stream water not only posed a significant health threat but also created a financial strain as families were forced to purchase water for their daily needs. The broken borehole had become a symbol of their suffering and vulnerability. However, the timely intervention of Lifewater brought an end to their hardship. By repairing their borehole, Lifewater restored access to a clean and safe water source, directly addressing their health concerns and alleviating their financial burden. The simple yet profound act of repairing the borehole has brought immense relief and a return to normalcy for the residents of Takusa Mada.
