COMMUNITIES in the Levilivan and Zimake villages in the Bulolo district on May 11 celebrated the opening of their new water supply facilities that were funded by Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture.
The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture water and sanitation hygiene community development program, in partnership with AT Projects, delivered the new water supply facilities and included the installation of water storage tanks, taps, sinks, showers and toilets.
The water project will improve the lives of more than 300 people by providing clean drinking water, washing facilities and improved sanitation through toilet installation.
Community affairs superintendent Dollie Kumgi said company, though still in the permitting phase, is helping its footprint communities live a healthier lifestyle.
“It’s through working together with your leaders in the Hengambu Landowners Association and community leaders that we see services such as this come,” he said.
“We all want our people to have easy access to clean drinking, washing and toilet facilities,” Dollie Kumgi said.
At Levilivan (Fly Camp), the WASH Project involved the construction of a new dam, two large storage tanks, and installation of three double-tub sinks with showers, five drinking taps, and four toilets.
At Zimake, the AT Projects team, with help from the locals, installed a dam with three large storage tanks, connected to 14 double-tub sinks with showers, 14 drinking taps, and 14 toilets.
Deputy President of Hengambu Landowner Association, Paul Bana, was overjoyed with the new facilities and thanked WGJV for its continued commitment to assisting the communities with services.
“It is really helping our people with their daily lives. It’s a big service, especially for our mothers who don’t have to walk far but can access water at their doorsteps,” Mr Bana said.
“Thank you to the communities for working closely with WGJV and AT Projects to complete the project.
Let’s all take ownership and look after these facilities,” Paul said.
Six WASH projects have been completed since 2019, including projects in Nambonga, Hekeng, Bavaga and Gingen villages.
The official opening also saw the presentation of certificates to locals for completing health awareness and asset maintenance training.
