Local community pilots solar water project in Kairuku

A local community in Kairuku, Central,has initiated a solar powered purified water supply project, initiated to improve water supply system during the El Nino period.

The solar purified water project is the first to be initiated at Apo Apo community at the Bereina village in ward 18 of the Kairuku Local Level Government constituent

The water project is a determination from local communities who took the ownership to trial the project through the tireless efforts of the Buana brothers, namely Emmanuel and famous musician Merfy Buana.

After numerous efforts and commitment towards the project, the Kairuku District Development Authority (KDDA) injected K70,000 to make the project a reality through a submission written to the KDDA by the Buana brothers.

Kairuku MP and Minister for Energy Peter during the official launch of the water project commended the Buana family and the community from initiating the water project to benefit the community at large.

He stressed the ideal importance of taking ownership of initiating projects before receiving support from the government.

He said such approach by the Buana family and the local community of Apo Apo is a testament of creating own community development initiatives.
