Water and sanitation

Over the year the ICRC carried out a number of water and sanitation projects: Huambo’s main water pumping station was restored to proper working order and maintenance teams were trained; a well rehabilitation programme in the city’s health posts and in the Bailundo area was completed; two boreholes supplying Huambo central hospital’s main building and surgical wards were reactivated; and 18 traditional water sources in Huambo were restored near ICRC health centres or in parts of the town that were in most urgent need of water. In Huambo province 10 wells were dug and equipped with hand-pumps.

Cooperation with OXFAM continued throughout 1995, with the ICRC providing logistical support for their water and sanitation programme on the outskirts of Ganda.
