Engineer Swai said that the project would lead to clean and safe water services in government institutions (primary and secondary), clinics and health centers currently located in Sawala, Mtwango, Lufuna and Kibao villages in the Mufindi South Constituency of Mendrad Kigola.

However, the villages of the Sawala, Mtwango, Lufuna and Kibao had long been devoid of clean and safe water.

The local villagers found water in streams and well-drained wells and water was not clean and safe.
