KYAKA II Distribution September 2025
The distribution was conducted in the following zones: Ndololire, Itambabiniga, Kyamagabo. The process followed structured steps:
- Orientation of beneficiaries and introduction of implementing partners and donors.
- Verification of beneficiaries using the UNHCR GDT system.
- Registration and issuing of cards with water filter IDs.
- Hands-on training on filter installation, use, and maintenance.
- Return of signed attestation forms and issuance of water filters to trained households. In total, the exercise enabled 1,006 individuals to gain access to safe and clean drinking water.
During the same period, LifeWater also expanded its Institutional Water Filter Pilot Project, which began in September 2024 and was extended in February 2025. The September 2025 phase focused on scaling up access to safe water in schools and health facilities. In Bukere Secondary 2 systems were given to the newly constructed boys and girls domitory.
Engagement with Local Authorities
Nsamizi TISD’s Public Health Team, with support from Village Health Teams (VHTs) and Refugee Welfare Councils (RWCs), identified 200 households most affected by unsafe water access. The identification targeted water-stressed villages where households rely heavily on unprotected sources. Data was compiled and verified using UNHCR systems before printing final beneficiary lists. Mobilization was conducted one week prior to distribution to ensure preparedness and transparency. Households excluded from the exercise included households that had previously received water treatment support. This approach ensured that the intervention reached the intended beneficiaries, households most in need of safe water access, while eliminating duplication of support.
