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.

(ii) WASH - In addition, in 2012, 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 6 deep wells at AMABA area by mid-year, and drilled 3 other shallow wells. Ebenezer I, II, and V Rig and Water trucks had serious engine problems requiring a lot of money to repair the old vehicles and 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: 1 deep well at Pump Repair and well service checks in Orlue / Ogberuru areas 3. Benue State: 6 wells done5000X143500
