OUR NEW YEAR GIFT TO OUR SCHOOLS.

In the quest to alleviate the water challenges in our schools,we have partnered with Omeriye Foundation to drill and equip seven (7) boreholes in various schools in our ward.

The schools earmarked for this undertaking include;
1.Namisi Primary.
2.Lwanyange Sec School.
3.Fr Simon Sibembe Sec School.
4.Maira Primary.
5.Maolo Primary.
6.Esidende Primary .
7.Malanga Primary.

The aforesaid schools have been experiencing water challenges and this is a step in the right direction in alleviating the water challenges being faced by our people.

We're trying by all means to avoid breakout of water borne diseases and this can only be achieved through the provision of safe drinking water to the people of Bukhayo Central ward.

I want to appeal to the schools where the boreholes will be drilled to guard the facilities jealously and prevent them from vandalism.
