Kawuki further encouraged residents to prioritize their wellbeing:
“I urge the people of Ssingo to take care of their health and make use of skilled professionals.”
The Ssingo County Chief, Mukwenda Deo Kagimu, expressed appreciation for the initiative and its impact:
“We are grateful for this support, and this well will help uplift the lives of the Kabaka’s people in Ssingo.”
