We are bound to improve hygiene and sanitation. The water taps are closer to our homes,\u201d appreciates Tuyishime Vestine, one of the new water taps users.  <\/p>\n<p>Another resident, Habiyeze Damasc\u00e8ne thanked donors and the Government for making the infrastructure available.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been cooking with dirty water but the situation is going to improve. With new water facilities, we are assured of good health. This makes us grateful to the Government and donors,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The water system will also be used by nearby school, health post and Baptists Union Church in Rwanda (UEBR) church.   <\/p>\n<p>Ngabonziza Beno\u00eet, the Bishop of UEBR church said the facility will help them to respect COVID-19 preventive measures when they are allowed to reopen.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you see, we have already built a hand washing facility and will be accessing water from this system.  The infrastructure will help us to contain spread of COVID-19 and other diseases related to poor hygiene when our church reopens,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n<p>Over 80 % Nyamasheke residents have access to safe water.  <\/p>\n<p>Nyamasheke district vice mayor for social affairs, Mukamana Claudette revealed that the water system comes in handy and has increased the number of residents accessing safe water. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful that the infrastructure that residents have been requesting is available.
