01 / THE NEED
Collecting water should be the easy part of the day.
In Takun’Ala, a community in Maikunkele, the few existing wells cannot meet local demand. Families go back to the river for drinking and cooking water, even though animals use it too.
Residents contacted Elite Star Foundation after earlier attempts to secure a borehole fell through. A local water point would give families a safer option closer to home and reduce their reliance on the river.
