Abstract	This article recounts our field experience and research in TfD in the Ofabo community, Kogi State, Nigeria. Through socially engaged performance and participant observation, this study finds that the poor state of drinking water in the Ofabo community results from government negligence, inadequate awareness, and the inactivity of community stakeholders/representatives. TfD approach works for education, awareness creation, and community mobilisation but there is a need for multi-disciplinary, public, and private partnership-based engagement in the region to make water testing and water treatment possible and to maximise the community-friendly engagement medium that the TfD methodology creates for measurable rural development.
