TASTE was registered as a charity in the U.K. on September 7 1999, to encourage the spread of appropriate and sustainable technology in Nigeria. This encouragement could take the form of sending suitably qualified Christian professionals to work alongside local people or offering support to young Nigerian professionals. 

TASTE was set up as a result of first hand experience of one of the Trustees, Ben Udejiofo, of the hardship being suffered by ordinary Nigerians through the under-utilisation of both human and mineral resources and also the constant request for help by the people of Amankpunato Achi, the village from where Ben originates.

Amankpunato Achi lies 35 km south of Enugu and boasts a population of around 40,000 together with vast amounts of undeveloped agricultural land. Water is a scarce resource with the nearest supply of drinking water a 5k round trip away from most homes.  As is usual in Africa, women and children bear the brunt of water carrying, with the children regularly making the trip before and after school during the dry season.

TASTE is committed to working with the people of Achi to develop a clean water supply and we'll post progress reports as soon as work gets underway.  In the meantime, TASTE has established a base in Jos and is active in three areas of work:

                              constructing boreholes            surveying services           water delivery
