Gbakoro is a peaceful farming community nestled in Gurara Local Government, Niger State, where residents live simple lives and primarily engage in agriculture and small trading for survival. Despite the community’s hardworking spirit, access to safe water has long been a struggle. The community’s only borehole broke down long ago, leaving families to rely on contaminated stream nearly two kilometres away. Every morning, women and children set out with jerrycans on their heads, waiting in long lines just to fetch a few litres of water. Animals drank from the same spots as humans. Sickness and fatigue became part of daily life in the community. When Lifewater came to Gbakoro, they quickly assessed and repaired the abandoned borehole. This intervention brought immediate relief as safe water was restored close to homes, reducing illness and freeing up time for education, farming, and other economic activities. The people of Gbakoro express deep gratitude to Lifewater for the timely and impactful support because they now enjoy safe water once more and home are healthier.
