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

The Chinka I community is within Ungwan Isah in Kagarko Local Government area of Kaduna State with severe water scarcity. For a long time, residents were forced to fetch water from a small, dirty stream located far from their homes. This extreme water crisis made basic hygiene, like bathing, a luxury, and families struggled immensely with daily tasks such as cooking. While water vendors offered an alternative, their prices were prohibitive, with the high rate of poverty meaning only a few could afford this essential resource. Moved by their profound need, Lifewater responded by rehabilitating the community's broken borehole. Today, the story in Chinka I has dramatically changed. Residents can now easily access safe water without the struggles and challenges they once faced, bringing immense joy, relief, and happiness into their lives. The community is deeply grateful for this generosity, praying for God's blessings and rewards upon those who made this transformation possible.
