Background of the Study:
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right recognized by the United Nations, as it is essential for survival, health, and well-being. In many parts of Nigeria, including Kachia, Kaduna State, access to clean water remains a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas. The lack of access to clean water often results in the spread of waterborne diseases, malnutrition, and reduced quality of life. In Kachia, residents rely on inadequate and sometimes unsafe water sources, leading to health risks and diminished human rights. According to the World Health Organization (2023), over 60% of Nigeria's rural population lacks access to reliable and clean water sources, which exacerbates socio-economic vulnerabilities.
This study aims to appraise the extent of access to clean water in Kachia, evaluating whether this basic human right is being fulfilled and the implications for public health, education, and overall development. The study will also explore the efforts made by local and state governments, as well as NGOs, to address water scarcity and improve access to clean water in Kachia.
Statement of the Problem:
In Kachia, Kaduna State, many residents still lack reliable access to clean water, which undermines their right to health and sanitation. Water scarcity and contamination are significant issues that affect the local population’s health and quality of life. Despite efforts by the government and NGOs to address these challenges, many communities in Kachia continue to suffer from poor access to safe water. This study seeks to evaluate the extent of the problem, the causes behind it, and the human rights implications for the residents of Kachia.
Objectives of the Study:
