Access to safe water supply has great influence on the health, economic productivity and quality of life of the people. But meeting this need is one of the major challenges facing the rural communities of Nigeria today.
The purpose of this campaign is to support and improve water supply which can contribute effectively to health, social, and cultural development of Nigerian rural communities. Over 70% of households in rural communities do not have access to improved water supply.(WHO & UNICEF)
They rely solely on self-water supply (free source) such as rivers, perennial streams, water ponds and unprotected wells which is susceptible to water borne diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, malaria parasites etc.
This situation forces households especially the women and children to spend more time walking longer distances during the dry season to trot water for domestic purposes.
'Whitestone Foundation and Orphanage Home' is geared towards championing this course
