EAST African Breweries (EABL) Foundation has donated sh175m for water and sanitation projects that will benefit over 30,000 people within Kampala and its environs.
The projects involve provision of a 10,000 litre water tank at Kampala Dispensary and Maternity Centre, which will provide clean water to patients and health workers.
EABL Foundation partnered with the Agency for Capacity Building to manage and facilitate the dispensary project worth sh10m. It was commissioned by international artiste, Shaggy and UBL's head of corporate affairs, Marion Muyobo.
"Water is a key area of our community focus. Without easy access to clean water, physical and economic development is severely affected. That's why we are delighted to commission this project," Muyobo said.
Kampala City Council's Central Division chairman Godfrey Nyakana said: "The area required assistance in water and sanitation facilities. The tank was constructed in a strategic area in town."
Other projects include construction of water kiosks, toilets and standpipes in Mengo-Kisenyi and mass sanitation awareness campaigns at the household and community levels.
