Speaking during the handover ceremony at the health centre, PIL General Manager Martin Msimuko noted that access to clean water is not just a basic necessity but a fundamental human right hence their assistance. “Water is life and hospitals cannot do well without clean and safe water.

It is a reminder of what we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal. I am confident that this project will inspire further initiatives to improve the lives of those in our rural areas,” said Msimuko.
