The project implementation deal was signed by Japan Ambassador to Rwanda, Takayuki Mishayita and Paul Murenzi, the President of the Rwandese Endogenous Development Association (ARDE\/KUBAHO), a local NGO that will run the one year project to benefit over 38,000 people in Runda Sector.<\/p>\n
Under the project, a water source will be rehabilitated and a water tank constructed along with a 3.6 kilometre water pipeline supply system. Three water houses and one public water tap will as well be constructed.<\/p>\n
Speaking to IGIHE, Japan\u2019s Ambassador to Rwanda, Takayuki Miyashita said they chose to fund ARDE Kubaho\u2019s water project after realizing that residents of Runda Sector need access to clean and safe water.<\/p>\n
He said though it is a small project, it means a lot for the population who will be supplied with clean water.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe (Japan) want to contribute to Rwanda Government\u2019s plan to see all Rwandans access clean water,\u201d Ambassador Miyashita said. <\/p>\n
Paul Murenzi, the President of ARDE Kubaho said lack of access to clean water was a threat to health of residents in Runda Sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren would get late to school as they first went to wetlands to look for water which was unclean. When clean water facilities are introduced in the area, their lives will change as we witnessed it in other parts of the country,\u201d Murenzi said.<\/p>\n
Murenzi added that the project will create jobs for different people focusing on the youth who will be receiving a wages of between Rwf2,000 and Rwf5,000 per day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
