In 2024, the village of Rugga Gbawu witnessed a transformative act of generosity led by the Taieb

& Co family, together with relatives and close supporters. United by a shared desire to create

meaningful impact in Nigeria—and to seek blessing and healing for a beloved family member—they

came together to fund a major clean water initiative.

The project included the drilling of a borehole and the construction of a central water distribution

facility, bringing sustainable access to clean drinking water closer to surrounding communities. In

addition, the family ensured that every household received large water containers, allowing families

to safely transport and store water at home.

This extended rural area, home to multiple villages from the Fulani community, now benefits from

significantly improved and geographically accessible water infrastructure.

Today, approximately 5,050 people benefit directly from this project.

The inauguration ceremony was marked by music, dancing, and a food distribution dedicated

especially to the widows of the village, offering additional support to vulnerable families.

The total cost of the operation amounted to €13,480.
