Safe Water for Displaced Kids in Northern, Nigeria

Ortese has suffered from violence, displacement, and now, disease. When families return, they find only contaminated water. This leads to a vicious cycle: sick children can’t attend school, parents can’t work, and the community can’t heal. Nigeria is among the top 5 countries globally for child deaths from unsafe water (WHO, 2022).

Your support will fund safe, reliable water sources and ongoing maintenance. You’ll help stop disease at its source and give children the foundation they need to thrive in school and life. Clean water is more than a resource—it’s a lifeline to recovery.

Join us in healing Ortese, one well at a time.

When water isn’t safe, children pay the highest price. In Ortese, unclean streams are the only option, leading to constant outbreaks of preventable diseases. These illnesses keep children out of school and drain family resources. UNICEF states that children in rural Nigeria are four times more likely to drink unsafe water than those in cities.

This project will provide boreholes, regular water testing, and community hygiene education. The result? Healthier, happier children who can focus on learning and growing. Every donation unlocks the future—one filled with education, health, and hope.

Support Ortese’s children on their journey to a brighter tomorrow.
