Dear Friends, Family and supporters of Serendipity,
We are very pleased to state that with your support we have provided access to safe clean drinking water in 15 communities in 5 LGA councils in Kano, Nigeria thus translating to over direct 1, 500,000 beneficiaries and over 3,000,000 indirect beneficiaries.
Words cannot express how happy you all have made in the lives of our children in our communities. Now they spend less time going far distance to source for water with enough time to do their home chores before going to school. Our women are not left out as they can now go to their farms on time and do other income generating activities. Our men now have a breath of fresh air as funds they get from their wages will now be enough to cover more bills that comes up.
We have handed over the hand pumps to the steering committee that comprises of the community leaders, the head women farmer association and the head community based organizations located in the communities and the leader of the youth association that will oversee taking care of the hand pumps in terms of maintenance and repairs. We agreed with the steering committee for a monthly contribution by each household on an amount comfortable for them. The amount suggested is NGN100 per household. The leader of the women farmer association is the treasurer and the leader of the youth association is the secretary. This was agreed with all the 15 communities where we cited the hand pumps.
Our next steps would be on monitoring and evaluation of the communities to see what has changed in their lives and development that has occurred.

Thank you so much for your continued support as we want every child to have access to water.
Your faithfully,
Samirah Faruk
