MBABANE– Acting Minister of Natural Resources and Energy, Jabulani Mabuza, has launched the Lozitha Water Supply and Sanitation scheme with a total budget of E2.5 million.
The project aims to provide better access to water and sanitation facilities for around 350 people. The project is a joint effort of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy, Ministry of Health, WaterAid Eswatini, Hilton Foundation and the local community of Lozitha.
This collaboration intends to reduce the burden of water and sanitation-related issues in the area, as well as to promote better public health and hygiene. The project’s organizers hope to make a significant impact on the lives of the people in the community by providing sustainable access to clean water and sanitation facilities.
“This project is one of the Ministry’s interventions in the rural communities of ensuring that every liSwati has access to safe drinking water. The scheme gets water from a mountain stream,” said Minister Mabuza
The minister further stated that it is important to point out that the community of Lozitha has achieved 100% sanitation coverage through guidance from the Ministry of Health. The availability of sanitation facilities will further reduce waterborne diseases in this community.
