OPAKASI

Teso communtiy in Opakasi village had been suffering so much when it came to the issue of water.The unprotected spring in Opakasi was a very dangerous lace due to snakes and rapists who inhabited the bushes that surrounded the spring.The water from the springs was also dirty and unhealthy to use and as a result many who drunk it suffered such diseases as typhoid,cholera and dysentry.
The case was so for past two decades a typhoid,cholera and dysentry.The area councillor presented the issue to Busia Municipal Council who went and undertook spring protection measures by clearing the bush around the spring fenced it and even made a concrete wall of the spring .The council also installed a chlorine dispenser at the spring and today the Teso Community have all reasons to smile as they draw water from the spring without fears of water borne diseases,
