The Water Project at Nduisingele, Nwezenyi

For generations, the people of Nduishingele, Nwezenyi endured unimaginable hardships due to the lack of potable and drinkable water. This dire situation impacted every aspect of their lives, from health and hygiene to education and daily routines. The plight of children was especially heartbreaking — they had to travel long distances to fetch muddy, unsafe water before heading to school and again after their classes, leaving little time or energy for studies or play.

This struggle is now a thing of the past, thanks to the unwavering efforts of the Race Foundation and their partnership with the local community. In December 2023, a water borehole was successfully sunk in Nduishingele, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the people.

The Harsh Reality of the Past

For years, the absence of clean water forced families to depend on contaminated streams and ponds.

Health Risks: Drinking unclean water led to widespread illnesses, including waterborne diseases like diarrhea and typhoid.

• Children’s Education: Young children, especially girls, often missed school or arrived late, exhausted from carrying heavy containers of water.
• Livelihood Impact: Hours spent fetching water meant reduced time for farming, trade, or other productive activities.

The community’s need for clean, accessible water was urgent and undeniable.

A New Dawn: The Water Borehole Project

The Race Foundation, driven by its mission to transform lives and uplift communities, worked tirelessly to bring sustainable change to Nduishingele. By sinking a water borehole, they provided not just clean water but hope and dignity to the people of this community.

Today, the borehole serves as a lifeline, offering safe and accessible water to all.

• Health Benefits: Families no longer fear waterborne diseases, and the overall health of the community has improved.
• Children’s Education: With clean water nearby, children can focus on their studies and enjoy their childhood without the burden of long water-fetching trips.
• Economic Growth: The saved time and energy have allowed families to engage in productive activities, improving their livelihoods.

The Community’s Joy

The transformation in Nduishingele is palpable. Smiles of relief and gratitude are evident as villagers recount how their lives have changed. The borehole is more than a source of water — it’s a testament to the power of partnership and compassion.
