Narreting hos story Umar said:
“During our work and discussion, I told them my life story and how I struggled to acquire my degree certificate. Perhaps, they looked at how committed I was to my duty, and the company’s CEO, Cliff Fettner, called me for more details. Later, they they told me that they would offer me a gift of N6m as a support grant.
“It was a huge amount of money that can change my life, but I have something bigger in my mind. I saw it as an opportunity to wipe away the tears of residents of my community. So, I contacted them and asked if they could help me to divert the money to provide clean water in my village, and I narrated to them how we have been suffering to get drinking water.”
The project:
“Mr Fettner then asked me to provide him with the estimate of the project, and I contacted a local borehole drilling company, which provided an estimate of N8m. The company donated the amount it pledged, and the community raised N2m, and a 100-meter borehole with a steel overhead tank of 30,000 litres and a solar panel was constructed. Now, my village has clean water. I am very much fulfilled.”
