Access to clean and reliable sources of water is a fundamental human right, essential for sustenance, health, and development. Unfortunately, the people of Nornyikpo have had to live without this essential basic need for many years. Nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, Nornyikpo was a picturesque community that had been grappling with water scarcity for generations. Its only water source, a small and heavily polluted stream, was inadequate to meet the needs of its growing population.

The people of this community had to travel long distances to access water, often carrying heavy loads back to their homes. The lack of clean water led to health issues, particularly among children, women,
and the elderly, who are more susceptible to waterborne diseases. The absence of a reliable source of clean water had far-reaching consequences for daily life in Nornyikpo. Basic activities such as cooking, cleaning, and hygiene became arduous tasks.
