MATEMA WATER PROJECT LAUNCHED, BRINGING RELIEF TO OVER 400 HOUSEHOLDS IN TINDERET
Residents of Kapsimotwo Ward in Tinderet Constituency have a reason to celebrate following the official commissioning of the Matema Water Project, a major step forward in improving access to clean and safe water in the area.
The project, which is already benefiting a local school and more than 400 households, is expected to transform the lives of residents by providing a reliable water supply. Leaders noted that plans are underway to expand the project in the next phase to reach even more families within the ward.
Speaking during the commissioning, Governor Stephen Sang emphasized the importance of the project in enhancing public health and supporting livelihoods. Access to clean water is set to reduce waterborne diseases while also enabling households to engage in productive activities such as small-scale farming and livestock rearing.
The initiative is also expected to significantly ease the burden of long-distance water fetching, a task that has traditionally fallen on women and children. With water now closer to home, families will have more time to focus on education, economic activities, and overall well-being.
The commissioning of the Matema Water Project underscores the county government’s continued investment in critical infrastructure aimed at improving the quality of life for its residents.
Leaders reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring sustainable and equitable access to water for all, noting that such projects are key to driving inclusive development across the region.
