- Notes
- Tom made a visit to Buholo village to make the first kibo visit to the village and meet the village leaders to introduce kibo to them as well as discuss Kibo’s intentions in the village. Tom was taken to the village by the subcounty NHT mr Nkwanga who introduced Tom to the village leaders.
Initial attempts to reach the chairman were not successful but luckily when Tom and Nkwanga reached the village, they found the chairman in his home. Mr Nkwanga whom the chairman knows well introduced Tom the the chairman and Tom explained to the chairman what kibo is all about as well as its connections and relationship with Namutumba district. Tom briefly spoke of other departments in kibo but his focus was on sanitation and hygiene. The chairman was happy and thanked Mr Nkwanga for taking kibo to his village. He said the sanitation levels are not very good but many times mentioned how water stressed the village is. Tom asked the chairman if they could visit the only water source. There is one borehole which serves according to the chairman 151 homes with the next borehole about 3kms away. This well also serves three other villages which makes the borehole busy and packed with people all the time. The village is very rocky surrounded by a rocky outcrop and many boulders. Almost every home has a rock boulder or many of them. Tom asked the chairman how they are able to dis latrines to a deeper depth and he said its hard because in some places, the rocks start as soon as someone starts to dig. Tom did not mention anything about water or kibo would give them water even though the need is great. Tom exchanged contacts with the chairman and promised he would visit the village again next year. To from Buholo headed for Bunangwe estate C to meet the leaders in that village.
