A message from the community

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation go to Lifewater for the assistance you provided in drilling a borehole in Magaji community. 

Your support has made a significant impact on our lives, and we are grateful for your generosity and kindness. The borehole has provided us with access to clean and safe drinking water which has improved our health and well-being. It has also reduced the time and effort we previously spent travelling long distances to collect water. This has not only saved us time but has also reduced burden on our community’s women and children, who were responsible for carrying heavy water containers over long distances.  

Once again, thank you for your support in helping us bring clean water to our community.  

Yours faithfully,  

Shuaibu Abdullahi 


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

My name is Friday Abdullahi. A significant challenge facing our community is the scarcity of water. Accessing water is extremely difficult; it is as precious as gold. Due to the lack of water, our children often arrive late for school or miss school entirely. The road to the stream is infested with dangerous reptiles that pose a threat to our women and children as they collect water. 

We are immensely grateful for Lifewater's invaluable support in providing our community with a new water source. We appreciate the efforts made to drill a new borehole for us. Thank you very much, Lifewater, and may God bless you.
