Igara, Bushenyi – Igara East MP Hon Micheal Mawanda Maranga has commissioned newly constructed shallow wells in Ruhumuro sub-county, bringing relief to residents who previously struggled to access clean water.
The Legislator’s initiative aims to improve the lives of his constituents by providing a reliable source of water for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.
The shallow wells, typically between 1-4 meters in diameter and up to 20 meters deep, are designed to tap into the water table, providing a sustainable source of clean water.
This project is expected to have a significant impact on the community, particularly during dry spells when water scarcity is a significant concern.
By investing in these shallow wells, Hon Micheal Mawanda is addressing a critical need in his constituency, demonstrating his commitment to improving the lives of his constituents.
This project is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives and the importance of access to clean water in promoting public health and well-being.
Water from shallow wells remain safe and clean if properly constructed, maintained, and protected from contamination. However, shallow wells are more susceptible to contamination than deeper wells due to their proximity to the surface.
The Shallow Wells were constructed by an Organisation known as “ONE UMMAH UGANDA” which Originated from United Kingdom with its name “ONE UMMAH CHARITY UK”.
The Five Water Wells were opened at Comboni Primary School, Burungira Primary School in Kasa, Burungira Parish, Rwekitooma, Nyamyerande and Ruborogota in Ruhumuro Sub County, Igara East Constituency.
