More than 10 water taps, wash hand basins, toilet seats and mosquito nets were replaced. The move, according to the association, is to complement the efforts of the government since government can’t do all, thus the need for more collaboration. The project, which was funded by Kafutarians in Diaspora in collaborations with the Association in recent past is winning the hearts and minds of many villagers due to their commitment to village development.
The ward councilor of Kafuta, Bala Musa Darboe expressed delight in the self-help initiative, saying the initiative spearheaded by local association would go a long way in improving the condition of the health centre.
