Lilongwe, March 19, Mana: Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) Director of Production and Distribution Engineer Gustaff Chikasema has said his company is committed to providing more support including improving potable water access at Area 25 Health Centre.

He made the remarks on Tuesday, when LWB donated medical and ground work supplies such as; medical groves, PB machines, weighing scales for children as well as adults, shovels and wheelbarrows all worth K13.8 million at Area 25 Health Centre.

Chikasema said they decided to support Area 25 Health Centre after they noted challenges the health facility has been facing.

“After we visited Area 25 Health Centre we discovered that there were many challenges which the facility was facing especially in terms of water and other medical materials and this made us to come and help the facility as part of our corporate social responsibility.

“We will continue helping this health facility and in this next financial year we will construct a water tower and put a water tank to improve potable water access at the facility,” Chikasema said.

Apart from donating medical and ground work equipment LWB has also rehabilitated and installed Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities such as toilets and water taps at Area 25 Health Centre.

Area 25 Health Centre In-charge Chikondi Nkhweriwa-Chitsime applauded LWB for the donation.

“LWB has done a very commendable work; some of our water taps stopped running but have been maintained. Additionally, the donation will help us in delivering best services to our clients,” Chitsime said.
