In a significant gesture of support and solidarity, Bobiwine, alongside his team, has delivered a 10,000-litre water tank to the marginalized Batwa community residing at Mpeerwa Camp in Nyakabande, Kisoro District. The initiative aims to address the community's critical challenge of accessing clean water.
Several months ago, Bobiwine and his family visited the Batwa community, witnessing firsthand the struggles faced by the residents. Touched by their plight, he pledged to support them, identifying the dire need for a sustainable water supply as a top priority.
True to his promise, Bobiwine's team successfully installed the large-capacity water tank, which is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for the Batwa people by providing a reliable source of clean water. This initiative underscores the importance of taking actionable steps to support marginalized communities while working towards broader societal change.
"As we strive to change our country and have a better-governed society, it's important that we do the little we can to improve the lives of our people," Bobiwine stated. "We are committed to making fundamental changes to better the lives of Ugandans."
The Batwa community, often referred to as the "forest people," has faced numerous challenges since being displaced from their ancestral lands. Access to basic necessities like clean water has been a persistent issue, impacting their health and well-being.
This initiative by Bobiwine and his team represents a beacon of hope for the Batwa community, emphasizing the impact that targeted local interventions can have in transforming lives.
