Many #Nigerians struggle to access clean water and improved sanitation facilities daily. This problem is particularly acute in northern Nigeria, where only 30 percent of the population has access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. This contributes to high prevalence of waterborne diseases, threatens the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, and contributes to low levels of school enrollment, especially among girls. Through partnerships with local governments and the private sector, USAID is increasing access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education among some of the most at-risk communities in the north. USAID to support sustainable water supply and sanitation, there is need for providing grant funding for Operation and maintenance of the existing infrastructure. African Water Works Utility has position itself to work with state government to ensure adequate management of water supply system and sanitation to all #Nigerians. https://lnkd.in/dUvqMtx8
