Burlcore Mining advances clean water initiatives in Busia.

Burlcore Mining Company Limited continues its long-running commitment to reliable, clean water for the communities surrounding its licensed concession in Busia, Uganda, building on a track record that includes the Mawero water and flood-resilience project.

Across the villages adjoining the concession, reliable water access is one of the most powerful levers for community health, school attendance and household stability. Burlcore's water programme has been built around that reality, prioritising practical interventions: protected sources, drainage and the rehabilitation of existing community infrastructure.

Each project is delivered with local leadership, community ownership and long-term maintenance in mind, rather than as a one-off press moment. The company's permanent on-site team ensures sustained follow-through.

These efforts sit within Burlcore's broader stewardship of the Lake Victoria Green Belt, where the company holds its medium-scale gold mining licence under Uganda's DGSM framework.

"Clean, reliable water changes everything for a community. We treat it as core infrastructure, not charity."

Burlcore continues to scope further water and sanitation work in coordination with local leaders in Busia, with an emphasis on durability, ongoing maintenance and resilience to seasonal flooding.

It is the kind of patient, infrastructure-grade community work that defines how the company expects responsible mining to operate in East Africa.
