San Narciso Receives Material for New Water System

Today, San Narciso Village in the Corozal District received materials for a brand-new water system. This event is part of an ongoing partnership between the Ministry of Rural Transformation and UNICEF Belize. Minister of State Ramiro Ramirez and UNICEF Country Representative Alison Parker were on hand to mark the occasion. It’s a significant step forward for the community, ensuring better access to clean water for everyone.

“Down south when we started, I was chatting with Dr. Angela the good moments that we had there and the worst moments that we had there.  The first time that we went to Macahakil Ha, we had to walk couple hours in bush on a harsh trail, but now today, thanks to UNICEF, thanks to the Government of Belize, for rural transformation, we have a nice road, you can take your Prado or Lexus or anything you desire to go and visit that beautiful village now.”

“We have been together, both in the southern part of Belize, as well as the north, where we recognize that persons especially in the rural areas do not have access to safe water.”
