Founder's Inspiration
Ishaq Ahmed Rufai, a native of Kuroko in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria, grew up witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of poor sanitation. In his local village, open defecation was not just a common practice but a necessity, as modern toilets were a luxury few could afford. This issue affected over 90% of the population, contributing to widespread diseases and health challenges.
Despite the passage of time, Ishaq has seen only marginal improvements in sanitation practices within his community. Open defecation remains prevalent, and its consequences continue to harm the well-being of those in marginalized areas. These experiences shaped his resolve to make a difference.
