Emitiot Community members, in Longisa Ward, during community engagement session to review the ongoing progress of water works at the Emitiot Water Pan.
This life-changing project, funded under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) program, represents a significant leap forward in local climate resilience.
The event brought together Climate Change Unit officers, the Area Chief and his assistant, and community members.
The forum allowed locals to share their views on the technical milestones, including pipe laying, the construction of animal watering troughs, and the installation of communal water taps.
Through the interaction community expressed the positive impact they already feel: clean water is now being brought closer to homes. Historically, residents trekked long distances to the pan, facing the constant risk of drowning.
Today, the project ensures safer, more efficient access for both domestic use and livestock.
