Project Funded!Project: To drill a borehole well in the Umuokwurume community in Nigeria to combat the illnesses caused by lack of clean drinking water. Summary: This borehole well project addresses the potable water challenge in the Umuokwurume community. Their main water source is from a stream, though other sources include seasonal rain water, open shallow wells and stagnant ponds. The river’s water quality is very poor and not suitable for drinking. It causes sicknesses, including diarrhea, cholera, skin infections and typhoid. Having a borehole for the community will drastically reduce the chances of getting infected by these waterborne diseases spread from the river and other unfit sources. It will provide cleaner and portable water for domestic use, especially for drinking. Project 24-04: Borehole in Umuokwurume
