In Burum-Burum, a quiet farming settlement in Nasarawa Eggon, families start their mornings searching for water rather than preparing for school or work. With no reliable piped supply or functioning public wells, children and mothers trek down steep paths to scoop murky water from dwindling streams shared with livestock. KCDI is drilling and installing a solar-powered borehole distribution point in the heart of Burum-Burum—delivering clean, endless drinking water that requires zero diesel generator fuel to run.

Learning Access & School Kits · Wamba LGA

Equip Underserved Pupils in Wamba with Books and Learning Essentials

In agrarian communities across Wamba Local Government Area, rising living costs force hard-pressed parents to choose between food for the week and basic school supplies. Across rural classrooms, bright and eager children sit at desks with no notebooks of their own, sharing a single pencil stub between three classmates or copying math problems onto scrap cardboard. KCDI delivers comprehensive school kits—durable bags, exercise books, stationery, and literacy readers—so that lack of basic tools never robs a child in Wamba of their education.

Stop Preventable Deaths: Deliver Free Health Screening and Care in Awe LGA

In remote farming and riverine settlements across Awe Local Government Area, families live and work hours away from the nearest functional secondary healthcare facility. The quiet tragedy of these communities is not just illness—it is that many villagers pass away without ever knowing what was wrong with them, collapsing from undetected high blood pressure, diabetic crises, or untreated infections before they even have a fighting chance. KCDI is bringing qualified doctors, nurses, diagnostic testing, and emergency medications directly into village squares across Awe.

Disability inclusion · Nasarawa Eggon

Wheels of Dignity: Get 15 Stranded Tricycle Riders Moving Again

In Nasarawa Eggon, a hand-pedal tricycle is how many people living with disability reach the market, the farm and the clinic. When one breaks on rough roads, a repair of around ₦15,000 is out of reach, and its owner can be stuck at home for months. A two-day KCDI repair clinic, run by local mechanics and welders, will fully restore 15 tricycles and give every rider the tools to keep moving.
