Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

In 2020, COFP and our partners made strides in making water that people can drink and use for other purposes clean and readily available in some poor communities in Abuja. Due to low water supply in some areas like the FCT, residents have resorted to drilling of boreholes. But since everybody cannot afford to drill a borehole, the need for clean portable water has become a matter of survival especially, at this era of COVID 19 pandemic. It was as a result of this that COFP in collaboration with the Czech Government provided two boreholes at Ruga settlement in FCT Abuja. Furthermore, in order to check health impact towards open defecation which has led to severe health issues like diarrhea, cholera and other communicable diseases, the Foundation constructed and commissioned a block of three toilets for Dambga community on July 29th 2020 with support from the Czech Government.
