A Kwara-based non-governmental organization, the Abibakr As-Sidiq Philanthropic Home (ASPH), has completed five solar-powered borehole projects to improve access to clean water for underserved communities.

The infrastructure intervention was executed with support from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) under Project OP-660 and successfully delivered on October 9, 2026.

Each facility features a solar-powered pumping mechanism, elevated storage tanks, multiple distribution taps, perimeter security fencing, livestock drinking troughs, and solar-powered lighting systems. The installations were completed in Moumento, Kalgora, Atchavedo, Adoglove, and N'Tifafa Kome communities.

Speaking to journalists in Ilorin, the Chief Operating Officer and Project Manager of ASPH, Barrister Abdulrazzaq Farid, explained that the initiative is designed to reduce the hardship associated with fetching water over long distances while improving public health standards.

"The project is aimed at improving access to water and strengthening the welfare of beneficiary communities," Farid stated.

He emphasized the necessity of local ownership and maintenance protocols, adding, "Community involvement, regular maintenance and continuous monitoring are essential to ensuring that these facilities remain functional and sustainable."

Farid also commended KSrelief and local stakeholders for their collaboration, reiterating ASPH's commitment to delivering humanitarian interventions and sustainable infrastructure across Africa.
