Project Overview
As part of a deliberate approach to societal development, Livestock Feeds Plc has successfully implemented a Clean Water Initiative for over 120,000 residents in Eziama community in Aba North Local Government Area, Abia state, Nigeria. The initiative, which will be commissioned on November 18th, 2021, is aimed at providing clean water for the residents through the implementation of a mechanized borehole while addressing the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of access to clean water by 2030.
Over the years, access to clean water had always been a challenge for the people of Eziama community. The community has been exposed to several health risks which are associated with the use of unclean water from a river. The people would often travel a long distance (about 2km) by foot to the neighbouring village to fetch water from the river during the dry season. The same river is used by nomads in the area to wash and feed their animals thus contaminating it for use. Our objective was therefore to tackle this issue in a sustainable way and provide relief to the community.
After several visits and consultations with key stakeholders, LSF has successfully set up the community’s first mechanized borehole which will ensure that safe and clean water is accessible to every member of the Eziama community.
Project Approach
The mechanized borehole constructed by Livestock Feeds Plc has two strategic fetching points for easy accessibility by the members of the Eziama community. With the technical expertise of the LSF engineering team, they have ensured that the borehole project meets all regulatory standards. The boreholes will be electrically powered by LSF to ensure that the overhead tanks are continuously filled with water and electric consumption is environmentally sustainable.
