N23-W049 Diko

Diko is a densely populated settlement along the Abuja-Minna expressway.   

The community has depended on unsafe sources for their water needs because the community hand pump is insufficient to serve the large population.  

The hand-dug wells, river, and water vendors are not safe water sources because they are open to fecal waste and runoff. Equally, every household cannot afford to get water from vendors due to the harsh economic reality in Nigeria.   

Despite our presence in the community a few months ago, we consider an additional well the best and most appropriate solution to the protracted water crisis.   

Our intervention has brought safe water to the populated community and has eased the high demand for water in the area.
