She emphasized the direct and indirect impact of the WASH program, and expressed confidence in the transformative collaboration and anticipated even greater strides in the future, expressing gratitude to RUWASSA and the other partners for their support.

Also, she underscored the crucial significance of achieving the 2024 targets for WASH projects, ensuring maximum benefits for the Fct grassroot communities.
