KABAROLE – The National Water and Sewerage Corporation has launched the school water and sanitation clubs at St. John’s Yerya in Kibito town council-Bunyangabo district, greater Kabarole.

Handing over a 10,000 liters capacity water reservoir to the new school club, NWSC vice board chairperson Mrs. Ruth Kanyaruju said that the SWAS clubs are an initiative of the Board and management of NWSC.

“We want to use young people to become our ambassadors on  issues of water, hygiene, sanitation, and protection of the environment.”

Kanyaruju added that the young people will help to spread the gospel of safe water use, sanitation, report leakages, water theft, plant trees, preach against swamp reclamation and other concerns. The young people will be our brand ambassadors in the future.” she said.

Kateete said that NWSC will continue to support the education sector through the  SWAS clubs.

“The government of Uganda working with the NWSC Board and management has adjusted the tariff of water to boost the education sector in the country. We have adjusted the tariff for UPE schools. This is to enable them to continue to educate the children who little or no school fees per term.” She said

Kibito town Mayor Jibb Tugwezire thanked NWSC for the all-round development efforts in the country.

“NWSC is extending water, sewage services, promoting hygiene, sanitation, health and now supporting the education sector. This is commendable work by a government institution,” he said
