The Water Facility Is Broken. The Children Cannot

By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader

The Water Facility Is Broken. The Children Cannot Wait.

In Ortese, a community recovering from violent conflict in Benue State, the only water facility has stopped working.

Each day without safe water forces more children and families to rely on distant, contaminated streams, risking their health and wellbeing.

We have assessed the problem, engaged with the community, and identified effective solutions.
But understanding what needs to be done is only the first step—resources are critical to put these plans into action.

Through our GoGreen Safe Water for Displaced Kids in Northern Nigeria project on GlobalGiving, we are mobilizing support to:

  • Rehabilitate the community’s water infrastructure
  • Restore consistent access to safe drinking water
  • Reduce the risks posed by waterborne diseases

Your donation can help turn this urgent need into a reality—restoring reliable, safe water for children and families in Ortese.

Stand with us to ensure no child has to wait for something as essential as clean water.

Help us make safe water flow again.
