Burlcore Mining delivers critical clean water access to Mawero.
Burlcore Mining Company Limited has completed the installation of new clean-water infrastructure serving the Mawero community in Busia District, replacing an unsafe seasonal supply that had long threatened household health and school attendance.
The project - built and funded by Burlcore Mining as part of its Busia community programme - consists of a protected borehole, storage tank, and distribution points sited to serve households, the local school, and a nearby clinic.
For years, Mawero residents relied on distant surface sources during the dry season. The new system removes that daily burden, particularly for the women and children who traditionally carried water over long distances.
The infrastructure was scoped in coordination with district authorities and traditional leadership. Burlcore's ground team remained on site through commissioning to ensure the system met community-agreed handover standards.
