To promote proper hygiene and sanitation in markets, members of Rotary Club of Lagos Central recently provided borehole facility to traders at Sandgrouse Market on Lagos Island.

Its President, Elizabeth Ajilore, said the project addressed four of Rotary’s areas of focus, which include water, sanitation and hygiene, community empowerment, environmental and disease prevention. To her, clean and accessible water is not just a convenience; it is a foundation for good health, dignity, and economic activity, especially in a busy market such as this.”

District Governor Rotary District 9112, Lanre Adedoyin, stated that members of the Rotary Club of Lagos Central conducted needs assessment and found out that there was a challenge of clean water. So they supported with a borehole.

They also provided brand new generating set to power the borehole. Without water, there is no life. We try to create lasting impact. The project will improve their likelihood.”

Babaloja and Iyaloja of the market, Aderinto Kamarudeen and Modinot Ayinke commended them for the generous gesture and assured of proper maintenance of the facility.
