Elu Development Association (EDA) USA has embarked on a fundraising for the provision of clean and safe drinking water in Elu Ohafia. With your help and generosity, we can provide clean and safe drinking water to the people of Elu Ohafia.

CLEAN WATER PROBLEMS:

The only water way is River Onu Uduma which flows into Enyong Creek in Arochukwu is about 10 kilometers from Elu village. Elu residents depend on stream, springs, and rain water for their domestic water supply. Very often domestic waste flow into sources of water supply. Most people have to walk long distance to obtain water from a nearby stream “Uyim” available only during rainy season. The absence of clean and safe drinking water exposes the community to water borne diseases like cholera, dysentery and typhoid.

SANITATION PROBLEMS:

There is no sewerage network in the community. Most households have pit latrines, flush toilet with septic tanks, while others resort to open defecation. There are also public toilets shared by many households. Schools lack clean water supply. This affects the general sanitation of schools, which impacts female students and teachers particularly.

It is against this background that EDA, USA desires to provide clean and safe drinking water for the community.

This fundraising campaign will enable us accomplish the following:

1. Purchase and installation of high capacity water pumping equipment.

2. Purchase and installation of a generating plant to power the water pump.

3. Purchase of water treatment and purification system

4. Build a water reservoir and purchase water pipes for storage and distribution.

This project is estimated to cost about $135,000.00 (One Hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars)

Donate with confidence as 100% of your money will help and be channeled towards providing clean and safe drinking water for Elu people.
