We fight, We win
Until now, the villagers of Atunda Village in Nigeria had to walk miles to access safe drinking water.

But last month, Yossi Uzan, 13, chose to honor his becoming a bar mitzvah by helping finance a source of clean potable water for its residents. He was influenced by the charitable giving of his parents, Rabbi Israel and Haya Uzan, co-directors of Chabad Lubavitch of Nigeria in the capital city of Abuja.

Today, the recently bored underground hole and piping system delivers sparkling clean well water near the front doorsteps of those living in small, round thatch-roofed homes in Atunda. The system will serve the village’s approximately 670 adults and 1,040 children.
