Eight villages in the Middle Fly district of Western Province now have access to clean water following the completion of a Water Project facilitated by the Ok Tedi Development Foundation Limited.
The project, funded by the Middle Fly Trust, saw eight water pumps constructed at a total cost of K600, 000.
The Middle Fly Trust is one of the eight Trust Regions which are currently benefiting from the Ok Tedi Community Mine Continuation Agreement K1.1billion benefits package.
About 4,000 people from the villages of Yulawas, Erecta, Membok, Karemgo, Manda, Aiambak, Komovai and Kasa are expected to benefit from clean water and improved sanitation.
