The Kamanjab Village Council is drilling several boreholes to address the water crisis that residents have been experiencing over the past few months.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Bianca Nguaiko, says the village council received N$5 million from the Office of the Prime Minister to effect this.

Nguaiko says residents have been without water for over six months after the Namwater borehole dried up.

She says that with the funds they received from the Office of the Prime Minister last month, they have appointed a contractor. 

The Kamanjab Village Council (KVC) has committed to building four houses each financial year for residents who are living with disabilities.

The project, which is co-funded by the Kunene Regional Council, has already started with the construction of the first four houses.

Kamanjab Village Council Chief Executive Officer Bianca Nguaiko said the council has received one million dollars from the informal housing trust fund to construct 29 houses, of which four are for people living with disabilities.
