THE FOUNDATION BOREHOLE WATER PROJECT

Considering our commitment to address the water problems in the creek communities of Niger Delta, the Foundation was privileged to source funds through Star Deep Water Petroleum (a Chevron Company and member of Agbami Field) to implement two borehole water projects in Madangho and Costain (Escravos-Ugborodo, Warri South-West L.G.A, Delta State). The borehole project was awarded in December 2010 and was completed in February 2011.

Costain Borehole Water Project:

Madangho Borehole Water Project

THE ON-GOING PURE WATER FACTORY PROJECT

In our effort to help the less privileged of this region have access to potable water, we decided to set up a sachet water (pure water) factory in Costain believing that it will save us the cost of sinking borehole in the numerous riverine communities of this region.The goal of this project is to ensure that pure water will be more available and affordable for the poor masses.

We also believe that this giant step will help to reduce the staggering amount being used in purchasing pure water (Investigation revealed that a sachet of pure water was sold for N20/N30).  It will also help to reduce or eliminate the consequences of drinking unhygienic water. Furthermore, we believe it will help to generate employment for women and youths in this region as people would be needed in the production unit. Women and youths are expected to benefit economically as they would be engaged in marketing and distribution of the water sachets across the nooks and crannies of Ugborodo.

CROWEF commenced the Pure Water Factory construction work and staff quarters in February 2011. The construction work is yet to be completed. We therefore require about Ten Million Naira (N10,000,000) to complete the entire project. We use this opportunity to solicit for donations and support from kindhearted individuals and organizations for its completion.
