Hello friends,
I just wanted to share an experience i had with my team to go fetch water in the village with some kids 5 – 7 year old. This experience was so moving to me that i decided right there that i will do whatever it is in my power to get these people clean water.

If you would like to support the cause. I will add some ways to be able to do that.

  1. very Kind of you helping those innocent kid's. that's the reality of most kids living in rural villages without no access to basic amenities. very unfortunate. meanwhile, thanks for helping out with the community with a water source.

  2. Bayo Adio involves himself with the community and actively strives to help change things he has the power to change for the better. He dose not arrogantly cry shithole as if he is above anyone or that the uncomfortable sights has nothing to do with him. Nigeria needs more like him.

  3. Bayo this is so touching! To know this is what these kids and the community have to go through to get water in these days and times! I hope they get all the help needed for portable water to get delivered to them. Please give updates on this- very interested. Thanks ๐Ÿ™

  4. I remember carrying water in Liberia amongst other things… Definitely on my way back home to help ๐Ÿฆ‹โœจ๐ŸŒฑ.. I love the character it builds in oneself ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฏ

  5. Why don't we Africans use "beasts of burden" like horses, donkeys and cows to take our burden? I still see kids walking miles to school etc when in other countries they use animals. ๐Ÿ˜

  6. Mr Adio, I think we need to create about 3 wells for the community and please if it is fine with you I will love to at least contribute ยฃ1 towards the wells sir. They are too small kids and their safety is a bother

  7. Truly inspiring Bayo and even greater is your decision to do your bit to help. I know what it's like fetching water from a river – a boarding school experience which was really stressful at the time but looking back now is one of the cherished memories I have. God bless this effort and hopefully the transformation it brings to that community will put smiles on those children's faces ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Someone (maybe me) should look into the manufacturer of ceramic water cartridges in Lagos, Nigeria as a whole, this way the water they find can be filtered. The cartriges are for gravity fed water filters, I actually think colonialists got the idea from traditional African water pots. The water containers are now stainless steel but they were traditional clay or stoneware, the two main brands are Berkefeld and Berky(?). I live in London, UK and bought a filter so that if need be and I need to drink rain water or any kind of suspect water I can, but I use it for my everyday drink and cooking The cartridges are expensive now compared to your Brita but it is a completely different product when it comes to water filtration. And, since 2020 and people learning that they need to learn self-sufficiency, the manufacturers and retailers have jacked up the price but a short term solution would be to buy some for the local community. The cartridges can last up to two years and you can wash them to renew. All over youtube you find videos on how to make the filter for the cartridges using food grade plastic buckets. Even with water wells these cartridges would be good to have because that water in the plastic bags in alot of west African countries has god knows what chemicals in it. I use my filter and cartridges to clean the tap water here in London, I just can't drink it straight out the tap. Anyway, I love that you showed how your engaging with the wider community, although I am always suspect when people want to use Africans to perform philantrophy, the poor African propaganda dehumanises Africans and we need to nip it in the bud.

  9. If African leaders were not as corrupt..all the monies stolen to buys expensive real estate in the west could have provided water and other amenities to increase the living standards of these poor kids and their families.These leaders love to see their people suffer. You are doing a great job..let me know how we can help Adio.please

  10. Hey Bayo, those kids are fitter than you.๐Ÿ˜. As always you are doing great work and reaching out to people that matter. Coincidentally, I am in Ghana, a place called Senya Beraku in the central region, doing something similar, reaching out to the local people, especially the children. Keep up the good work. Remain blessed.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

  11. Hi Bayo, i would suggest also creating at least 2 wells for the community. I know you guys are going to be close to the community, but sometimes these communities have issues with sustainability. As soon as the borehole gets a technical fault, it might become abandoned if the community is not collecting a token to set aside for repairs, etc. Sometimes it might even be the cost of fueling a generator to pump the borehole if they have no constant electricity. So, having another backup like wells around the community will help greatly.

  12. There are regions that ( unfortunately) have the problem of portable water source and supply. In the south of Nigeria, water isn't much of a problem though but you have to dig a well or borehole to get clean water all year round. Provision of pipe borne water to every household is a necessity. Thanks for helping them out.
