Burum-Burum Water Project · Nasarawa Eggon

Bring Permanent, Solar-Powered Clean Water to Burum-Burum Community

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.

The need

Why this matters

Contaminated seasonal sources: During the dry season, local streams dry to stagnant pools. Families are left drinking turbid, unsafe water that causes recurrent typhoid, diarrheal diseases, and severe dehydration in toddlers.

Hours lost each morning: Children, particularly girls, spend up to three hours carrying heavy plastic jugs across rugged terrain before dawn, arriving at school exhausted or missing lessons altogether.

Fuel poverty causes breakdown: Conventional boreholes in neighboring villages sit abandoned because communities cannot afford escalating diesel and petrol prices to run generator pumps. Solar power solves this permanently.
