Our Impact Story Today : The Kurna/Warawa Living Lab
Dakata and Kurna yan daci village are communities under Warawa local government council in Kano State with an estimated, combined population of 7000 inhabitants. With the increasing effects of climate change being felt, the communities have adopted coping strategies to deal with the effect of draught to secure their daily need for water and sanitation. However, with no existence of pipe-borne water, borehole or any systematic form of purified/clean water, it’s evident that they are struggling to meet their daily needs for clean water and sanitation with clear impact on health care and education and migration.
The Warawa Living Lab Project seeks to develop innovative strategies to address the issue of water scarcity in some of our most vulnerable communities while using data generated from such intervention to understudy the impact of the provision of water to everyday social issues and behavioural patterns driving decision in communities with lack of access to this necessary commodity.
