Borehole Repairs and other charity in Northern Nigeria
Supporting Lovatt Foundtn in North Nigeria with assisting basic needs like clean water, food, health care, education, greening & much more.
International
Since May 2020 we have been raising funds from around the world to support the tireless work of Lovatt Foundation in Nigeria. Lovatt Foundation.Org was established in May 2015 by a New Zealand poet and teacher Fiona Lovatt, who has lived and worked with women and orphans in Nigeria since 2011. She helped set up an orphanage in a war torn area of Borno -supporting and working with children who had been displaced.
She has worked with volunteers and other NGOs to continue to repair 1000s of boreholes and plant 1000s of trees. The following is just a glimpse of the kinds of projects she has taken on - small business loans especially to women, medical treatment, prisoner release, food programs, and educational scholarships.
The beauty of this grassroots organization is the speed at which you see your funds put to work. Every penny goes a long way as the collective does not get paid, nobody draws a wage for the work.
To find out more about Fiona and the amazing work she does with the foundation please visit her website and FB page.

Tasneem Mohammed's involvement (page creator)
I am a Librarian and my first little project with Fiona was to find book donations for her "Books without Borders"project in 2008. Since then I have followed her work in Nigeria and once again I am getting the opportunity to assist.
Use of funds
The funds will be used to repair many boreholes that have stopped working in poor areas of Northern Nigeria and for continued support in planting fruit and other trees.

March Update - Al Huda Literacy 1 April 2025
UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH 2025 ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF ALHUDAHUDA LIBRARY AND LITERACY CENTER,HOTORO KANO.
Alhumdulillah this is one of Lovatt Foundation beneficiaries.
Alhamdulillah, the month of March this year has been fully utilised as it coincides with the holy month of Ramadan.
The activities of Alhudahuda library were done by myself and two other volunteers.
Literacy, numeracy, science, and morality were the areas of focus.
Many topics were done through the aid of ikon Allah book series.
In the month of March, Alhudahuda accommodated no fewer than 200 per week throughout the month, as the session for Qur'an recitation recorded its all-time participation since its commencement 3 years back and Alhamdulillah this brought about the 70+ sauka in the month of Ramadan.
Through Alhudahuda, more than 20 people have gotten their kayan sallah, which is the first of its kind since our inception in 2020.
More than 20 Qur'an were also distributed to Alhudahuda reciters, which will in sha pave the way for another sauka at home. They beneficiaries were happy to receive the precious gifts.
It's a great moment of joy amongst the participants of Alhudahuda, having successfully recited the holy Qur'an multiple times through the aid of our conducive environment.
At the end of the holy month, a prayer session was conducted, and everyone that has hand in running the program in Alhudahuda was included in the prayers.
May Allah continue to bless all the hands involved.
