The Minister of State for Disaster Preparedness, Refugees and Relief, Hon. Lillian Aber, has today officially handed over a newly completed water system in Ajia Sub-County, Arua District, constructed by the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) and partners to Arua District Local Government.
The system will serve over 3,100 people across six villages and provide safe water to Ayayia Health Center II, Ayaa Primary School, and Ayayia Primary School.
This project strengthens resilience against water-related risks and brings Uganda closer to achieving Vision 2040 and SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation.
“I commend the Uganda Red Cross Society, the Netherlands Red Cross, the Arua District leadership, and the community for their dedication. Let us all work together to ensure sustainability through ownership, responsible use, and routine maintenance. Special thanks to the Government of Uganda for prioritizing last-mile service delivery and supporting transformative projects like this especially H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Office of the Prime Minister,” Hon. Lillian Aber said.
Hon. Lillian Aber also doubles as Kitgum District Woman MP and she is set to seek for another term in 2026 for the same post. She is one of the most performing legislators in the 11th Parliament as well as in cabinet.
