For many years now, the community of Nzerem has been suffering because of water. Located in steppe and desert terrain, Nzerem is one of the poorest community in Ehime Mbano in Imo State, Nigeria. The inhabitants have to obtain water from overflow collectors of small, unsanitary river. Hepatitis, Diarrhea, intestinal infections, and parasites kill many of the residents each year, 85 per cent of them “children”. This causes a desperate search for water, especially for the women, girls, and boys, who are responsible for obtaining water for the household and livestock. Boys and girls have to drop out of school and walk eight to nine miles in deep down valleys a day to get water that the family needs
Clean water is obtained through drilling of boreholes. This requires the drilling of bore holes, pumping systems, building of water tank and other expenses.
