Dear project supporters and well wishers,
I am writing this report with a very very big smile on my face because the project has supported the highest number of people it has never done so before. This is because about 80% of the population of Kumbo were internally displaced by the on going socio political crises of the Anglophone speaking regions. It was not easy since mid September 2018
The village where this project is located happened to have been out of Kumbo in the rural part. This village is not far from the forest and farm lands. As people had to quit the towm for their safety, the Water project was the main supply of clean water to those in the bushes, forest and in the village not to talk of the Health centre. where must of the wonded Amba boys are being treate as they can not go to the big hospital in town.
The main water scheme of Kumbo was broken off we do not know weather this was done by the Amba boys or the Forces of Law and order. This meanse that the project again had to serve those who were not able to leave Kumbo dispite the tension of Road blocks, burning of houses, Vehicles, motocycles and shooting of civilians and soldiers.
Last Month, we scheduled and maintenance work in the project which was intensively carried out by the Water Management committee.
We did a lot as we were able to clear all the catchment areas, planted lifestock which will help in sustaining the water supply, washed all the collection chambers and the Water Stotage Tank.We also carried out repairs on all the piples making sure that there is leakage thereby avoiding waste as the dry season is becoming intensified.
We are still appealing for financial assistance to enable us build a Collecting Chamber to control the Third catchment and possibly construct the second Tank since the crises have instead proven that this project is very helpful and will likely continue to be helping a wider community than projected at the early stage.
Do not be decieved by the news of the socio political crises. This project is in the Rural area and it is ongoing without disturbances. Feel free to donate to this project without any hesitation.
May God Bless you.
