It’s not only having enough water to drink that’s important - it’s also the quality. In this vlog, me and my colleague Lawan teach people in Kri Kasama in rural Nigeria how to use filters and Aquatabs to make their water clean. It was a bittersweet visit as this village still bears the scars of an attack by Boko Haram not long ago.

I'm Michelle and I work in Oxfam’s humanitarian team responding to emergencies around the world. I'm originally from Manchester but in the last few years my work has taken me to Yemen, Sierra Leone, Nepal and Iraq. I am currently deployed in a remote village in north-east Nigeria.

Broad Street is my blog I share with four of my other colleagues at Oxfam. Our homes are everywhere from Dar es Salam to Liverpool, and our offices are everything from music festivals to refugee camps. We are campaigners, humanitarian workers, festival goers, dog walkers, fashion lovers, travellers, music fans, cooks & loads more besides. Through our writing and vlogs, we want to take you along with us and tell you about some of the things that make us get up in the morning.
