Primary Exempt PurposeRNM exists to provide access to safe domestic water, medical relief, and vocational job skills training to the poor and needy in communities, and in particular, the 3rd World Countries - with current focus on Nigeria and Niger Republic in West Africa. Further, RNM is committed to addressing the need to remove conditions that lead to abject poverty, cycles of disease and ill health, especially among children and women through sustainable development. This includes addressing a lack of basic life's skills or inadequate job skills which leads to low productivity & development in targeted communities. We focus on alleviating acute shortages of sanitary drinking water which significantly contribute to poor health & hygiene among the poor and disenfranchised.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

A. Water Wells - (i) In partnership with Living Water International, RNM drilled 6 new wells in 2032, and rehabilitation of 5 existing wells - all serving approximately 18,000 people, and thousands of livestocks. (ii) WASH - In addition, in 2013, RNM trained some nationals and hundreds of elementary and Secondary School students in Nigeria on WASH (Water And Sanitation Hygiene) to help improve overall community health in schools, villages and urban centers. 1. ABIA State: Completed 3 deep wells in Abia State using our Schramm T-64 Rig and Water trucks. Worked on several equipment breakdowns - had serious engine problems requiring a lot of money to repair the old vehicles which took much longer than expected in terms of service down-times because often finding US auto parts in Africa was difficult. Additional emergency funds were raised to accomplish the land / workshop properties by Sep. 2012. 2. IMO State: 2 deep well at Pump Repair and well service checks in Orlu -Ogberuru areas and Igueben - Edo State. Completed 10 other Community partnership boreholes in Benue State. B. VTEN: RNM also provided several job skills training opportunities in water well drilling, pump installation and repairs for several of the Nigerian indigent workers with the ministry in Africa by bringing expertriat trainers / rig operator to teach them hands-on. RNM also trained some volunteers on WASH - health and hygiene education as well as in Orality methods for Christian Witness$96,907Yes (X)$102,000
