The Friends of Regent Primary School (FORPS), Maitama, Abuja, has donated two manual boreholes to the Kogo II and Barangoni communities in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The donation is part of the group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at providing sustainable potable water to underserved communities.
The Chairperson of FORPS, Salma Dahiru Muhammed, described the project as a meaningful step in the group’s ongoing commitment to community development and social impacts.
She emphasized that access to clean water is a basic human necessity and that the initiative would promote better health, support development, and improve the living conditions of the beneficiary communities.
Muhammed expressed gratitude to all donors and volunteers who contributed to the success of the projects, emphasizing that their generosity made the intervention possible.
The Headmaster of Regent Primary School, Shaun Stockden, noted that the borehole project was conceived and completed in just seven months, thanks to the group’s annual fundraisers that support impactful community projects.
The Vice Chairperson of FORPS, Fiona Ewa, recounted a viral video that showed people and animals sharing the same water source in some rural communities, which deeply moved the group to take action.
Each borehole is estimated to supply up to 3,000 liters of water daily, significantly improving the hygiene and living standards of the people.
Samuel Gimba of Kogo II and Timothy Yohana of Barangoni communities expressed heartfelt thanks to FORPS for the donation, acknowledging its life-changing nature and pledging to maintain the facilities responsibly.
