Construction of Old Timber Road
Community And Infrastructure
As part of our Community Infrastructure and Sustainable Development Project, we embarked on the fixing of the Old Timber Road, Umuahia.
More Info
The Foundation identified this problem and was promoted to act on it after residents and several indigenous commuters of the Old Timber Road requested the Foundation to come and alleviate their sufferings through rehabilitating the road.
Residents and commuters were all too happy following this development.
Our contractors were charged by our founder, Mr. Ken Nnamdi Ukeagu, to use their vast wealth of experience and give the people a lasting road that will endure the elements for generations to come.
The Timber road which leads to many villages around its axis will alleviate the adversity of pliers of Olokoro, Ohokobe Afara and people using the Olokoro road to access Michael Okpara University through the Olokoro By-Pass.

Affordable and Clean Energy
Rural Electrification
Electricity supply had been a great challenge so much that moving around after sunset was difficult and the dark environment was a cover for vices leading to increased crime rates and heightened insecurity.
More Info
We extended electricity supply to Umuegwu Okpuala and provided Solar- powered streetlights around the villages and extended communities.
We have so far provided 165 Solar- powered streetlights within and around villages in Ohuhu land.

Access To Basic Primary Healthcare
Healthcare
Primary Health Centers are built to provide access to basic and affordable health care services in the community.
More Info
However, due to poor management and lack of funds to maintain the health centre, members of the community are denied access to this basic amenity and further exposed to health risks. In 2019,
Connak foundation carried out a total renovation of Afugiri Primary Health Centre and also donated modern medical equipment and supplies.
Advocacy & Social Development
Community Advocacy
Connak Foundation also engage in community sensitization for responsible citizenship by holding a monthly community advocacy program for youths in rural areas.
More Info
As parts of our efforts to ensure all people–especially children–have sufficient and nutritious food, distribution of food and clothing items to women and children has become a permanent way to celebrate Christmas with the community annually.
Clean Water and Sanitation
Water Project
Access to clean, safe and potable water has been a major infrastructural challenge and posed a great health risk to the inhabitants in the communities.
More Info
There has been widespread speculation that drilling a borehole is an unachievable feat in Afugiri community, and indeed, in all its years of existence, not one borehole existed in that area. This claim widely attributed to the undulating terrain in the area, can also
be narrowed down to lack of advanced technical tools & technological know- how as Connak Foundation have successfully drilled 5 functional boreholes in various locations, an achievement that has left many in utter amazement.
