Mabil Ha Celebrates Long-Awaited Water System

The Ministry of Rural Transformation and Community Development broke ground for the new Mabil Ha water system. On Sunday, the ministry held a ceremony at Mabil Ha Village, Toledo District, celebrating the start of the long-awaited project that marks “a significant achievement in our mission for rural transformation.”

According to the ministry, the project is a collaborative effort between the ministry, the Belize Social Investment Fund (BSIF), and the funding support from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).

The project is designed with sustainability at its core and “will harness the power of solar energy and feature a backup generator on-site, ensuring a reliable water supply for years to come,” says the Ministry, “a significant achievement in our mission for rural transformation” to provide the people with “safe, clean, portable water.”

At the ceremony, Oscar Requena, Minister of Rural Transformation and Community Development said, “In two weeks time… we are going to see the work get started in Mabil Ha.”
