Um, so Mrs. Funmilayo, can you please paint a picture of what everyday life looks like in Okerewe, especially around water and sanitation? What has been, um, the challenges so far?

The Okerewe community is a place where, where, that is, uh, highly populated, and the population is increasing on a daily basis due to the newly constructed road in the area.

But unfortunately-As the community is growing, the issue of water and sanitation is becoming harder.

Water and sanitation are major issues in Okorobe community.

When people wake up in the morning, the first thing they look for is water to start the day's, uh, activities.

And, uh, in the process of doing that, uh, since they wake up early, the people that give free water, the few of them that give, give, uh, free water, they are not set to come out to give them, and, uh, the houses where they have to go and fetch the water, where the f- uh, water vendors, it's about, uh, five to eight houses far away from the users.

And they, at that point, when the- our women and children, when they go to fetch water, looking for wa-water around, they are victims of, uh, this, uh, being attacked by miscreants in the community.

Number one, the volunteering spirit of the Okerewe Water Committee to work as a team is, is the key factor to-- that play a very vital role in shaping this, uh, initiative.
