en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nigeria's April Smile Foundation has received a grant from the European Union Youth Empowerment Fund, planning to implement a water supply project in seven communities in Oyo Town. The project, named the "Kosodo Unity Water Initiative," will involve constructing a drilling system powered by a generator.

The beneficiary communities include Elebo, Oyatutu, Efunlete, Kosodo, Balegbo, Odogun, and Igbo, which have long faced limited access to clean water. The funding was secured through the Global Youth Mobilization program, a collaboration between the European Union and youth organizations, partnering with the World Organization of the Scout Movement, YMCA, YWCA, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation.

According to the Foundation's Chairman, Jamia Owole, this water supply project was developed following consultations with residents, who emphasized that relying on a single well cannot meet their daily water needs. This issue was initially raised during a community event organized by the Foundation. Executive Director Adedotun Adegeye stated that the proposal for this water project was formulated in response to these concerns, adding that the project is expected to alleviate pressure on existing water sources and provide residents with a more sustainable water supply.
