Cyamabuye-Mukamira is one of the newly completed water supply channel system. Residents of Mukamira currently have access to safe drinking water at only a fee of 10 Rwandan Francs a 20 liters can.

Jean Paul a resident of Mukamira says "At first we could go fetch water from several unsafe sources like swamps. This time, we thank God our children can drink hygienically safe water."

Regarding water supplies more projects to supply more are underway including Jomba and Munkari water distribution projects both of which are about to be finished.
