I have lived in this community for years and I like it here. Members of the community here are generally
positive individuals. We benefit from essential amenities such as water, well-maintained roads, and other
necessary facilities. Our road networks are particularly impressive, facilitating the smooth movement of
people and goods. Our thriving markets and medical facilities attract individuals from neighbouring villages,

enhancing our community’s role as a regional hub.

In contrast, other communities often lack these amenities. People from nearby areas frequently visit our
community for healthcare services, including maternity care, highlighting the importance of our facilities.

The introduction of stable electricity has been a significant benefit. It has greatly improved our ability to
perform our duties with greater effectiveness and efficiency. Reliable power supports our mobile phones,
enabling us to stay in touch. The presence of light alone positively impacts patients’ morale, which can aid in
their recovery.

In many ways, electricity has become a vital part of our healthcare process.

It ensures that essential functions, such as child delivery and the proper storage of medicines and vaccines,
are carried out without interruptions.
