Every year, thousands of children in Nigeria are afflicted with ailments that are brought on by the consumption of contaminated water. This problem is of a severe nature in Ortese. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), diarrhea is the cause of sixteen percent of all fatalities that occur in children under the age of five in Nigeria.
In a direct manner, this project targets the underlying reason. There will be a significant reduction in the number of diseases if there are safe water systems, regular testing, and hygiene education. Children who are healthy are able to go back to school and play, and families are spared the sadness and hardship that might otherwise be experienced.
