There was excitement among residents in Nyabubare and Kizinda Kigoma Town in Bushenyi District with the construction of five new boreholes provided by Charity Foundation Uganda.
These boreholes will benefit the villages of Kibatsi Cell, Kigoma in Kizinda Kigoma Town Council, Birimbi, and Nkuna in Nyabubare Sub-County.
Adam Ssemugabe, the foundation’s Country Director, urged beneficiaries to maintain and keep the boreholes clean. He emphasized the importance of community ownership in looking after these resources.
Ssemugabe highlighted that the initiative aims to provide clean and safe water, reducing the risks of waterborne diseases associated with swamp water. The five boreholes represent an investment of 100 million UGX.
Francis Mucunguzi, the Chairman of LC1 Kigoma Village, expressed gratitude to Charity Foundation Uganda for addressing the significant challenge of accessing clean water in these villages.
Catherine Kweyamba, a resident of Kibatsi Cell, thanked the charity for alleviating the burden on women who previously had to travel long distances to fetch water.
