The Khadidja Brahim Foundation is a fully registered nonprofit organization located in Abuja FCT, Nigeria CACITNO100374. Aimed at helping over 81% of Nigerians (137 million) without access to clean drinking water and proper toilet facilities.
The objective is to be able to place a fully automated borehole and Bio-Digester toilet facility in every community in need in Nigeria and educate the populace on the importance of sanitation and hygiene and the value of clean water as it relates to their health and the impact on their environment.

Founded by Khadidja Brahim wife of the former ambassador of Chad to Nigeria in 2017. The organization has placed 27 boreholes in and around Abuja and as far out as Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Niger State with our "Water is life!" program. This program has directly impacted the lives of many Nigerians with over 70,000 people now having access to potable water in their communities. The organization has garnered acclaim and recognition from the wife of the president of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari. The minister of women affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, and others.

Nigeria is so rich in water resources that many of its 36 states are named after rivers. In addition to surface water found in nearly every part of the country, there's also plenty to be found underground. The country has 215 cubic kilometers a year of available surface water.

One would imagine that Nigerians have plenty of clean water to drink.

But this isn’t the case. In fact, only 19% of Nigeria’s population has access to safe drinking water. Although 67% of people have a basic water supply, access is uneven. In cities, 82% of people have a basic supply. In rural areas, only 54% do.

Pollution is another major cause of water scarcity in Nigeria. It’s common to see waste dumped in rivers and streams. In cities, stormwater carries pollutants that contaminate water resources. This is, in addition, to open defecation practices by the population.

Pollution has led to high levels of toxic chemicals such as metals and pesticides being reported in Nigeria’s water resources.

Underground water is also being polluted through seepage from waste dump sites. This is a major health risk.

Today, the overwhelming majority of 96.3 percent of households in Nigeria drink water contaminated by feces and other polluting substances such as Escherichia coli (E.coli). Leading to typhoid fever, diarrhea, and dysentery. As a result, 150,000 children die every year from water-related diseases in Nigeria.

In all, water may be the most important and impactful aspect of life in Nigeria that is unfortunately neglected. This needs to change.
