This story first aired on Radio West in Mbarara City.
Welcome to our special feature about Kaberebere, a lively town just 13 kilometers from Mbarara City.
This community is full of life, and it has an important story to share—one about groundwater, a resource found beneath its residents’ feet.
Once, people here had to walk long distances to find water, but thanks to underground water sources, they have better access now.
Today, we will discuss water sourced directly from the Kagera aquifer, hear from local residents about their experiences, and see how groundwater not only helps with daily needs but also supports the town’s growth.
So, stick around as we share an uplifting story of how water is helping Kaberebere build a better future!
