There is now a lifeline for over 3000 inhabitants in Massefo and Cassefo villages, in Icolo e Bengo Municipality, in Luanda Province, whose only source of drinking water has been untreated water taken directly from the Kwanza River.

They are set to start benefitting from a water abstraction and distribution system which was launched on Thursday. It has a capacity of pumping 6,000 litres of water per day and operates through a solar panel

The project was Inaugurated By the Governor of Luanda, Sérgio Rescova.

The municipal administrator province, Miguel Silva de Almeida, underscored that the water supply system represents a gain for the local population as foreseen in the Integrated Programme of Municipal Intervention.
