Build a Well

The Association for Building a Well (BASIQAT) is a non-profit organization that works to provide clean water to communities in need in Nigeria.

BASIQAT 's work is essential in providing access to safe drinking water, which is crucial for public health. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and over 3 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. This lack of access to water and sanitation contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases, which kill an estimated 1.5 million people each year, most of whom are children under the age of five.

BASIQAT 's wells provide a safe and reliable source of water for communities, which can help to improve health, education, and economic opportunities. The organization's work also helps to empower communities to take control of their own water resources and to develop sustainable water management practices.

Here are some of the specific ways that BASIQAT  helps to build wells:

• Identifying communities in need: BASIQAT  works with local partners to identify communities that are in need of a well. The organization considers a variety of factors when making this decision, such as the lack of access to safe drinking water, the prevalence of waterborne disease, and the availability of local resources.
• Working with local communities: BASIQAT  works closely with local communities to plan and build wells. The organization involves community members in every step of the process, from site selection to well maintenance. This helps to ensure that the well is meet the needs of the community and that it is sustainable in the long term.
• Providing training and support: BASIQAT  provides training and support to local communities on well maintenance and sanitation. This helps to ensure that the well continues to function properly and that the community has the knowledge and skills to keep it clean and safe.

BASIQAT 's work is making a real difference in the lives of people around the world. By providing access to clean water, BASIQAT  is helping to improve health, education, and economic opportunities for communities in need. The organization's work is also empowering communities to take control of their own water resources and to develop sustainable water management practices.
