Would you get up before dawn to collect muddy water from dew-pools that have formed overnight? Would you dig into the sandy river bank to get your water for your children to drink? That’s how many of the communities that we support get their drinking water. How fair is that in the 21st century?
TASTE has helped a number of communities in the last year or two. Additionally, we have been supporting SIM City Ministries, who work with widows and street kids in all the major cities of Nigeria.
Working in Nigeria has many challenges, not least that bribery and corruption are so wide-spread. TASTE seeks to take a very clear stance – we want to be seen as an organisation that is explicitly Christian; one whose standards are the highest, in every aspect of our work; and an organisation that takes a zero-tolerance stance against corruption of any kind.
As we work with communities, we are conscious of the need to demonstrate practical Christian values in both the work that we do and the way in which we do it. We take a zero-tolerance stance on corruption of any kind.
