Adamawa Water Project
The Lukuti community in Bodeno ward, Guyuk LGA, Adamawa State, with a population of about 2500 persons, had no source of water. The people had to travel to a neighboring community which is about 1.5km away to get water from the old Gongola River. This lack of potable drinking water posed a threat to the community and it exposed women and children to high security risk.
Once the Appeal for water for Lukuti Community was received, a geophysical survey was conducted and a bill of quantities for drilling a borehole was produced with a total amount of N1,879,000.00. The project was completed during the month of Ramadan.

Kwara Water Project
An appeal was received by OSH of the pressing need for a borehole in Emiworogi, a village situated in the Edu local government area of Kwara State. Emiworogi is home to approximately 600 residents who faced significant challenges in accessing clean and reliable water sources.
The community’s location, distanced from areas readily noticed by the government, has resulted in residents having to embark on long journeys to reach seasonal stream water, which often diminishes during the dry season. This situation not only posed an inconvenience but also jeopardizes the health and well-being of the villagers. The cost associated with drilling a borehole was beyond the means of the Emiworogi community. The difficulty in transporting drilling equipment to the village, exacerbated by the distance and challenging road networks, further compounds the problem. It is noteworthy that a considerable number of drilling rigs in Kwara are concentrated in Ilorin, making accessibility a formidable hurdle for the villagers.
The installation of a borehole in Emiworogi was not just a necessity; it was a lifeline that would significantly enhance the quality of life for the entire community. Access to clean and sustainable water would alleviate the stress and physical strain currently borne by the residents in fetching water from distant sources, especially during the dry season. Moreover, the provision of a borehole would substantially mitigate the risk of waterborne diseases. Clean and drinkable borehole water would contribute to the overall health improvement of the community, particularly the vulnerable members.
In light of these circumstances, OSH took on the project of installing a borehole in Emiworogi. The expected positive impact on the lives of the villagers cannot be overstated, and we believe that this intervention will foster sustainable development in the region.
Based on the bill of quantity for a borehole project in the Emiworogi community, a total of N1,978,000.00 Naira (approximately $2,637.00) was expended on the project.

Well Rehabilitation Projects
OSH well rehabilitation is designed to restore or enhance the functionality and efficiency of an existing water well that may have deteriorated or experienced a decline in performance. The rehabilitation process involves a set of activities aimed at improving the well’s water yield, quality, and overall operational reliability. Key components of our well rehabilitation projects include the installation of the manual hand pump. This prevents direct contact with the body of water preventing contamination and enhances water cleanliness.
Water well rehabilitation is essential for ensuring the sustainability and longevity of water supply systems, particularly in areas where wells play a critical role in providing safe and reliable water for communities, agriculture, and other purposes.
Three (3) Wells in various communities in Niger State were upgraded to Hand pump Wells
