Caritas Switzerland/Luxembourg and FinnChurchAid, in partnership with Ikwoto County local government and community are constructing a 17 km gravity flow water pipeline from Ngaluma River on Imotong range to Ikwotos town. The project “Safe Water for Ikwotos” aims to increase access to clean and sufficient domestic water and improve safe hygiene and sanitation practices to at least 18,000 beneficiaries in 4 villages including Ikwotos town.
The work on the pipeline is now at the outskirts of Ikwotos town near the air strip. The trench excavation of the pipeline route, across the air strip including laying the pipes and backfilling the trench is scheduled to take place between, February 10th to 15th 2010.
The public in general with specific note to NGOs working in Ikwotos are therefore advised NOT to schedule air flights to Ikwotos within the specified period.
