Construction History
In 2020, our passionate team of experts at Essential Need and FairAction, did an initial survey and assessment of water facilities' functionality status in Nigeria, to analyze the level of drinking water poverty and the related systemic challenges. These research resulted in the construction of the first of its kind - a Smart Water Kiosk in Nigeria, built in the early 2021, to eradicate extreme water poverty in the host community.
