CEHURD’s Efforts Transform Lives in Napak District, Karamoja!

By @Kitandwe Rhodine
| Lawyer, CEHURD

For years, CEHURD has worked tirelessly to address the social determinants of health, and today, we celebrate a milestone in Napak District!

Earlier in December, during a mobile legal aid camp, community members of Lokopo sub-county raised concerns about their lack of access to clean water. With over 1,017 people and 180 households relying on an unsafe water supply, this issue couldn’t wait.

We escalated the matter to the district leadership, Lokopo Sub-county leadership and the district water office, asking them to act. Within just a month, a borehole was constructed to serve this resilient community of Lolemuyek village, in Lokirikitae Parish, Lokopo sub-county.

During post-camp follow ups, we visited the borehole with the sub-county leaders and met with the Water User Committee (WUC) to provide guidance on proper usage and sustainability. This borehole is not just a source of water—it’s a source of hope, health, and dignity.

At CEHURD, we remain committed to empowering communities, advocating for their rights, and ensuring everyone enjoys their right to health.
