Water is just as important as the air we breathe. It is one of the most important substances on earth that we need to survive. Apart from drinking it to survive, people have many other uses for water. These include cooking, bathing, keeping houses and communities clean among others.
What is important about the water we use is that it must be clean for us to live healthily. Unclean water, on the other hand, can cause many types of diarrheal diseases, including Cholera, and other serious illnesses such as Guinea worm disease, Typhoid, and Dysentery.
Most communities across the country are still faced with the challenges of accessing portable water. In some communities, people travel far distance to get water from streams. This lack of access to portable water exposes them to diseases caused by the use of contaminated water. This was the situation of Otu-Uwolo Community in Igbuzo before the advent of installation of another 650ft borehole in the community by Verbron Carre Foundation founded by Obi Dr. Henry Chukwuma Ajudua-1.
Having been deprived of portable water for years, the joy and gratitude on the faces of the community dwellers was well understood as they received the news of the borehole with so much excitement and relief.
