We walk several kilometers to take water, the cries of the Oyo community

They revealed him on Tuesday during the inauguration of a well donated by Miss Namatai Temebo, a student of the Iita International School, Ibadan.

The head of the village, Mr. Musliu Olabanji, said that the village, before the good donated, had no access to drinking water.

According to him, people had stopped going to the only river in the village due to the fear of being killed by an evil spirit.

This, he said, had made sure that the inhabitants of the village walk several kilometers in the nearby villages to obtain water for their domestic use.

One of the leading women of the village, Mrs. Akindele Olaundun, said that the donated well was strategic and would have helped to reduce stress.

Olatundun said that the water of the well would allow them to live a positive and significant life as well as serving the nearby community.

He appreciated the donor and appealed to the government of the State of Oyo and to other Nigerians well intentioned to provide them with well to access drinking water and enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Previously, Tembo, the donor of the well, said that the idea of ​​providing rural communities with water arrived a few years ago when it was in third grade.

He said that the idea of ​​sinking a well for communities emerged during their end -of -year project during Grado 5, but was not successful due to his enormous financial involvement.

Tembo said they ended up giving dry and a tank for the community in need of water, a gesture of which she was not satisfied before graduating from elementary school.

“I wanted to make a difference in the life of people and communities who need water.

“After several research, we were able to identify the village of Aleelo where they really need water and with the help of my parents and the financial support from others, I was able to donate this pool of water to this community,” he said.

Tembo said he was enthusiastic about the fact that his dream of providing water to those who had a desperate need for water was successful.

The boss, Iita International School, Ibadan, Shepherd Timothy, said that students’ projects aimed to allow them to think about their external learning in the classroom.

Timothy said that the impact of the project would not be only for local communities and school, but the world in general.

He prayed that the donor would be successful in everything he does.

The project coordinator, Mrs. Edith Ekun, said that the project was to give students the choice and ownership of their learning.

He said he also gave them the opportunity and the opportunity to search for and discover things on their own, without teachers giving them information to follow.
