Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and essential for health, dignity, and sustainable development. However, in Farin Yashi community of Nasarawa Local Government Area, residents depend on a contaminated stream shared with cattle as their only water source. This exposes families especially women and children to serious health risks and heightens community tensions. In addition, inadequate educational facilities and lack of electricity continue to limit learning opportunities and economic activities.

Through the Project, conducted a comprehensive needs assessment, engaged community leaders and women representatives, and met with Local Government officials to present documented findings. We assessed the water source firsthand and proposed practical solutions, including borehole installation, improvement of school infrastructure, and a Town Hall Meeting to strengthen citizen-government dialogue.

We call on the Nasarawa Local Government, Nasarawa State Government, relevant ministries, agencies, and development partners to prioritize urgent intervention and deliver sustainable solutions that protect lives and promote inclusive development.

We sincerely appreciate the support of the Nigeria Youth Futures Fund () for making this engagement possible.
