ACAF PORTABLE CLEAN WATER PROJECT

– WATER IS LIFE!

The right to Clean & Safe drinking water was recognized as a human right by the United Nations and was included in the 2010 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It noted that Clean and Safe drinking water is an indispensable good for all!

Local access to clean water sources and sanitation, not only provide health conditions, it also provides more safety for women as well as children and young girls who are often victims of sexual assault on the long and unsecured road to fetching water on a daily basis.

Lack of clean drinking water and poor sanitary facilities are the main causes of worm-infected related illness and a higher rate of infant mortality in our communities today. Climate change has caused the local spring to be dried up, leaving only polluted ponds. Our people have no alternative than to drink and bathe from dirty water sources.

Photo shows our first phase of Water Project located at Ikot Akpakpan community in Oruk Anam Local Government. The project was successfully completed and commissioned in March 2016. It is operational and serves over 50,000 local dwellers daily. We are planning new boreholes in other communities to be equipped with Sustainable Solar System. The system would consider both economic and social ecological aspects.

ACAF INTERNATIONAL EGG NUTRITION AWARENESS INITIATIVE

The pictures here shows Pastor Ukoh, Acaf Executive Director distributing Eggs to mothers in Mbak Itam, Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. This is a token of our efforts as we partner with AKENAI (Akwa Ibom Egg Nutrition Awareness Initiative), an Organisation/NGO managed by Mr. Moses Akpan to create a formidable task to promote awareness of the production, processing and consumption of eggs as a tool for eliminating malnutrition in children. It was another opportunity to participate on the World Egg Day.

Eggs are Full of Protein
Egg protein helps a child concentrate and focus better and give him/her a sustained energy for several hours afterward. Because of this, the Egg Initiative was born. And because Eggs are rich in Choline, an essential vitamin-like nutrient that helps to develop the brain and enhances memory.

As we would want smarter kids with better functioning brains in our community, we start to feed them with eggs on a daily basis. Therefore, we need support in this area to produce and distribute this essential rich food supplement to our children, especially those vulnerable living in local communities.

ACTION ON NUTRITION

On 1 April 2016, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2016–2025 the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition.

The objective set out by the UN is truly clear to free all forms of malnutrition, maintain effective nutrition interventions and support the adoption of guidance and implementation of effective nutrition actions where all people achieve health and wellbeing.

Our Organisation (ACAF) took the lead and decided to work in collaboration with Elder Moses Akpan, the founder and Executive Director of a local NGO known as Cognito Resource Services based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria to providing nutrition-related products that creates sustainable, resilient food systems for healthy diets especially for infants. Our Nigerian Coordinator in the person of Pastor Abasiono was in attendance as well as our able volunteer staff-members, Ms Mmaeyen Ukpong who, among others have invested time and energy for the event.

It all started at the Primary Health Centre, Abak on Wednesday, 19^th July 2023 with a slogan “GIVING CHILDREN A HEALTHY START IN LIFE!
