Many schools in rural Nigeria lack safe water. Children often walk long distances to fetch water, missing class and risking illness. This project will install 25 solar-powered boreholes to serve over 10,000 pupils. Each borehole will include a solar pump, storage tank, and taps. The water will be used for drinking, handwashing, and sanitation. Funds will cover site surveys, drilling, solar panels, pump systems, tanks, installation, and local labour.
Most rural public schools in Nigeria lack running water. Students drink from open sources or skip school to fetch water. Girls often miss class during menstruation due to poor sanitation. These conditions contribute to illness, low attendance, and poor hygiene. Schools cannot afford to drill boreholes or maintain water systems, and diesel-powered pumps are too costly and unreliable in areas with no electricity.
This project will install solar-powered boreholes in 25 rural schools. Each site will be surveyed, drilled, and equipped with a solar pump, storage tank, and taps. The system will supply clean water for drinking, washing, and toilets. Local technicians will build and maintain each unit. With solar power, the water supply will be steady, cost-free to operate, and not depend on fuel or electricity.
The project will help over 10,000 students stay healthy and in school. Clean water improves hygiene, reduces missed school days, and helps prevent disease. Girls will find it easier to attend school during menstruation. Schools will save money on water and fuel. Trained local workers will maintain the systems, and each school will have its own reliable source of clean water for years to come.
