Drinking water has been an on-going challenge for Oporoza. Before Tomorrow is a New Day (TND) began working in the community, residents got their water from a dilapidated hand dug-wells.
Many of these wells had bacteria. They also claimed the lives of children who sometimes fell into them. Others trekked long distances in search of water from the few members of the community who could afford to connect their homes to the existing water supply.

The women and youth in Kaiama and Amassoma are organising to improve lives in their communities.
In Amassoma, the women's advocacy group hosted a “One Day Sensitization Workshop on Women’s Participation in Community Governance.” Over 150 women came to learn from seasoned politicians, like Deacon Elizabeth Bidei – the immediate past government representative for Southern Ijaw LGA. Excited about what they had learned, the participants developed a communique advocating for an increase in women's political participation.
