Hanga Abbey Assisting Mputa Village with Clean Water

Mputa village is about 20 kilometers north of Hanga Abbey in the district of Namtumbo. The abbey is helping Mputa villagers to have safe drinking water. The water will be drawn from a stream on a mountain and piped down to the village. More than 2,000 people will profit from the project.

As of March, 2020, a dam has been constructed at a site to fetch water to the lowland. The next step is to dig a trench and lay pipes.
