Nabagoye Water Update


Abayudaya Executive Council Chairman, Israel Siriri, led a water tap inauguration ceremony. The tap is for use by all the neighbors of the Abayudaya community in Nabagoye. The water source is the newly drilled Nabagoye borehole, located 400 feet from the water tap. After the inauguration, village health workers performed a song and dance about the importance of water and pledged to help maintain the water tap.
