One large emergency water storage tank (3m x 3m) to ensure reliable backup supply.
Constructed two new water points, equipped with 12 taps and 8 taps, to ease congestion and reduce long waiting times.
Rehabilitated 900 meters of water pipeline, restoring consistent flow and improving distribution across the camp.
