Speaking during the handing over ceremony a forth night ago, the chairman of the local water management committee, Samba Findo expressed gratitude to the CBC Health services and it's funding partner, UNICEF for the timely support. He added that he who gives water, gives life. To Samba Findo, the nightmare that has characterized access to potable water in Ngwayuh quarter in Nkambe is now history. The project which was estimated at over FCFA 2 million was realized with the local community participation contributing less than 5% of the total cost.
On his part, the representative of the CBC Health Services, Yinkfu Actor, called on the management committee to make sure that the sustainability of the project is ensured. He recommended that water lovely tree species should be planted and a fence constructed around the water tank. He also recommended that cleanliness around the taps should be respected avoid water contamination. On his part, the CBC Pastor of Grace Baptist Church said that water is life and the project is a jewelry which will go a long way to impact lives.
Prospects are high at that Nkambe council will in the days ahead valorize this project by planting trees. More so, GLFx Nkambe Chapter, an initiative of Global Landscapes Forum has equally promised to donate trees for the local committee to protect the water catchment area.
