Nearly 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are denied basic drinking water supply. Access to water and sanitation are recognized by the United Nations as human rights, reflecting the fundamental nature of these basics in every person’s life.
One of the strategies we put in place to impact the communities we live and work in is our Community Development Initiative. Recently, we partnered with the REACH community health program of EHA Clinics to renovate 20 Boreholes across 10 LGAs of Kano state. While the project aims to make water available for the communities, we also strive to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 6 “Clean water and sanitation”
We were excited to visit Sharifawa and Zangon Dakata communities in Gazewa and Ungogo LGAs respectively to launch the boreholes and spend time with the people of the host communities.
