To find a solution to the water supply problem, the ICRC has funded a construction project to increase the water supply in Goma to the tune of one million dollars. Construction work on Goma’s new water supply project began a few weeks ago and is likely to be completed within a few months.
The Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu province in the Goma region is facing an acute water shortage. The city has been hit by a water shortage due to its adduction system reaching its limits as the city is growing and displaced people fleeing the war are considerably increasing the number of its inhabitants.
