The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), led by Director General Umar Ibrahim Mohammed, recently held a virtual meeting with representatives from AguaXvida (Water for Life), a leading Argentine non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean and safe water to underserved communities in Africa.
This virtual discussion, conducted via Zoom, served as a significant step forward in their ongoing collaboration aimed at alleviating water scarcity in Nigeria's most vulnerable and remote regions. AguaXvida is renowned for its community-centered approach, which involves training and empowering local residents to actively participate in constructing and maintaining wells, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Both parties reviewed strategies to enhance access to clean water, focusing not only on immediate solutions but also on educational and development initiatives designed to foster community independence and long-lasting benefits.
Director General Umar Ibrahim Mohammed lauded AguaXvida's dedication, highlighting the importance of such partnerships in addressing Nigeria's pressing water challenges. "We are excited to continue this important conversation and work together to develop solutions for the water challenges faced by many communities across Nigeria. The partnership with AguaXvida is a vital step toward creating sustainable change, and we look forward to welcoming their team to Nigeria," he stated.
AguaXvida's visit to Nigeria, scheduled for April 2025, is anticipated to be a pivotal moment in advancing these joint efforts, setting the stage for the implementation of water projects in regions most in need of support.
