At LESGO, we recognize that access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) is not just a necessity but a fundamental human right. Safe water and proper sanitation are essential for preventing diseases, improving livelihoods, and fostering overall community well-being. Unfortunately, many underserved communities still lack access to these basic amenities, leading to increased health risks, waterborne diseases, and socio-economic challenges.
To address these issues, our WaSH programs are strategically designed to:
Tackle Water Scarcity
By constructing and rehabilitating boreholes, we ensure that communities have sustainable access to clean drinking water, reducing dependency on unsafe sources.
Improve Sanitation Facilities
We build and upgrade latrines, handwashing stations, and drainage systems to promote better hygiene and prevent disease outbreaks.
Promote Hygiene Awareness
Through targeted education campaigns, we empower communities with knowledge on proper handwashing, menstrual hygiene management, and safe water handling practices.
How We Are Making a Difference
✅ Clean Water Access: We construct and rehabilitate boreholes, ensuring that communities have sustainable access to safe drinking water.
✅ Sanitation Improvements: We support the construction of proper sanitation facilities to prevent disease outbreaks.
✅ Hygiene Promotion: We conduct awareness campaigns on handwashing, menstrual hygiene, and other essential practices.
✅ Community Engagement: We work with local stakeholders to promote water management and sustainability practices.
To combat water scarcity and improve access to safe drinking water, LESGO has successfully implemented borehole construction and rehabilitation projects in various communities.
Over the years, we’ve successfully built and rehabilited over 40 boreholes!
Some of which where upgraded from hand pump boreholes to solar pump boreholes while others were built from scratch as solar powered boreholes.
Each one of these boreholes is now
fully operational, providing essential water access to communities across Madagali LGA.
Some of the benefiting communities include Bakin Dutse, Bitiku Central, Bitiku Ngalam, Disa, Driff, Ghumbili, Giwa Sukur, Giwa Thilmari, Guba Sukur, Gubla, Hadik, Hashe, Hurgo, Kirchinga Matakama, and many more communities in Adamawa state.
These projects have provided thousands of people with clean water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and easing the burden of fetching water from distant or unsafe sources.
Clean, accessible water is a critical resource, and we are committed to ensuring reliable sources for those in need. This achievement marks a significant step in improving water availability and supporting
healthier communities.

These projects have provided thousands of people with clean water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and easing the burden of fetching water from distant or unsafe sources.
Through these life-changing interventions, we aim to reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases, enhance overall health, and improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations. By working closely with local stakeholders, government agencies, and community members, we are fostering long-term solutions that build more resilient and self-sustaining communities.
