More than 1,000 households in Elukanji Village, Khwisero Sub County, are set to benefit from a proposed community water project aimed at improving access to clean and reliable water.
Area Member of Parliament Christopher Aseka said the initiative will ease the burden faced by residents, particularly women and children, who currently travel long distances in search of water.
The project was discussed during a public participation forum held in Mundobelwa Sub-location, where residents gathered to share their views and express support for the initiative. Aseka emphasized that the project reflects the priorities identified by the community through inclusive engagement.
“The voices of the people remain the true drivers of development. This project is informed by the needs and expectations of residents,” he said.
In addition to serving households, the water project is expected to benefit key institutions in the area, including Elukanji, Emulole and Elukari Primary Schools, Emaholia Secondary School, Mundobelwa Health Centre and Muperi Market.
Aseka noted that improved access to clean water will enhance sanitation, support healthcare services, and create a better learning environment in schools. He added that the project is also expected to boost local economic activities.
Residents welcomed the proposal, expressing optimism that the project will significantly improve living standards and promote sustainable development in the area.
