A message from the community

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

Borkpa is a small, rural settlement located within Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State. The village is home to mostly subsistence farmers and traders. Life here is peaceful but tough, and access to safe water has always been a challenge. For many months, daily life became harder when the village borehole stopped working. People had no safe water to drink. Some dug shallow holes in the ground, while others fetched water from dirty ponds used by animals. It wasn't safe, and it made many fall sick, especially children. When Lifewater heard about Borkpa's struggle, help came quickly. Our team rehabilitated the borehole and ensured the water was safe again. The sound of safe water flowing brought joy back to the community. Women smiled again, no longer weighed down by the daily water hunt. Mothers no longer worry about sickness, and families can now focus on their farms and homes. The people of Borkpa are thankful to Lifewater and pray for God's blessings upon those who made the rehabilitation possible.
