Rounds of shouting, jumping and clapping heralded the sight of clean drinkable water as the rig bores through the rock. At this point the rig was already 25meters down and on to 50meters, attaining a water level that will be sustainable and available for the village at all times. This was our experience on 18th April 2020, at Babaegbe village in Akinyele local government area of Ibadan in Oyo state Nigeria. The village has suffered lack of potable water since inception with no one to come to their aid. Oak Rural Health Organization, knowing that access to potable water will not only prevent diseases, but also improve the socioeconomic quality of the entire villagers; swung into action which has led to this remarkable achievement. Words could not express the joy of the villagers as they see their long awaited dreams coming to reality. PVC casing was installed immediately, covering the entire 50meter depth.
We couldn't have moved this far without the generosity of our kind hearted donors and friends. However, the villagers are still anxious to have the water flowing freely. Having completed the major phase of the project, we still need to put the plumbing installations and other accessories in place to finally achieve the goal of this project. Can you be the one to give a part or all of the fund for the finishing? A sum of $353 is all we need!
