On 22 May 2017, the Tracking Needs team was at Kambang Community, Daffo, Bokkos LGA, Plateau State for research and investigation over their urgent capital needs. This was following baseline indicators that opined that the community has several challenges on access to basic social amenities. The community has a population of 2500 est. with no access to electricity, clean water, and dilapidated healthcare facility. Basic Rights Watch has commissioned several advocacy strategies over the case of Kuchidna, and calls on all relevant governmental and non-governmental authorities to urgently intervene in the community.
Updates on #TheStoryofKambang
#NoAccesstoCleanWater
Kambang has no access to clean water and depends on a water well (see image), for drinking, cooking water etc. While this is deeply unhygienic, it exposes the community to several diseases such as diarrhea. There is an urgent need for the community to be provided with an access to clean water.
#NoHealthCareFacility
kambang Community has no health facility and has to travel over 5 km to access a primary healthcare facility. This has extensively affected the community who now rely on traditional birth attendants and other local sources for healthcare. There is an urgent need for the provision of a healthcare centre in the community, so they can access healthcare for their children and nursing/pregnant mothers most importantly.
#CommunityVoices
“This well is 20years now and it’s the only water source sustaining this community.” But it is not clean water so we are vulnerable to several waterborne diseases.” Mr. Titus, Rep of the Village Chief
