Meanwhile, Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources Faiyaz Koya added that these projects were part of the Mineral Resources Division’s program.

He says these communities have not had water and this is a basic necessity that they require.

The village headman of Waisa, Wasoroma Rosogau says fourteen houses will benefit from the project.
