About the Book


The book tells the story of Chibuzor who was devastated when she was posted to Bauchi state for her one year compulsory national service in Nigeria. When all her plans to redeploy to a "safer" state failed she had no other choice but to go to Bauchi.

But in Bauchi she found heart and a worthy cause. Even when bombs were falling and other corps members were fleeing town, Chibuzor was determined to make the best of her youth service by providing clean water for the first time in a community of 6000 people, renovating and equipping a skill acquisition centre and providing school materials for pupils.

This is a true life account of the experience of Chibuzor, a youth corps member in northern Nigeria.

Part of proceeds from sales of The Girl Who Found Water, is used to provide potable water for rural communities by Haske Water Aid and Empowerment Foundation

Reviews
The author chose to write the book in narrative which is understandable for a memoir, and I like the fact that she obeyed the Literature rule; "Show not tell", by using dialogue from time to time to immerse the reader into the scene being narrated. The book is just over 100 pages, and it's short and compact enough for a social-media age where the average attention span is one-red-light-notification-away. - Write Paragraphs

As an amazing storyteller, Chibuzor nuances these contemporary Nigerian questions of unity, power, gender, service and sacrifice without losing her grip on her reader. She arrests her reader's attention and engages their emotions with the sheer intensity and vividness of her narrative. That The Girl Who Found Water reads like fiction is a testament to her brilliance in telling a human story of heartbreaks with such beauty and verve that spotlight instead hope, heart, and humor. - The Yes International Magazine

A simple story with a strong message. Chibuzor epitomizes what happens when we decide to change our community with action rather than criticism. - Okechukwu Ofili

In this slim book, The Girl Who Found Water by Chibuzor Azubuike, the fluidity of prose is one that haunts and endears your heart to the story told within. It reads like Michele Zeckheimʼs "Last Train to Paris" Ms Azubuike is an extremely talented and courageous woman whose personal story comes to bear into a very changing century and also inspires. This is a story of dignity, laced with emotional trauma and excitement. itʼs at once, gripping and appealing to the heart.- Onyeka Nwelue,
Author of the Abyssian Boy and Burnt

I found it very interesting particularly as Boko Haram is making such an impact on the news at the moment. The interesting portrayal of the place and situation were great to read. - Serah Odedina,
MD Hotkey Books London
