20 Families in Crisis: A Race Against Time for Water and Electricity

In the heart of Bambous, a quiet community is crying out for help. For years, around twenty families have been trapped in a relentless crisis—living without clean water, without electricity, and without hope – for 15 Years. Their days are marked by hardship, their nights by darkness. And now, their desperate pleas have finally been heard.

Imagine waking up each day to no running water. No lights. No way to refrigerate food or power a fan in the sweltering heat. This is the grim reality for these families, who have been forced to live under makeshift roofs, surviving day by day, for the last 15 years.

For the children, the challenges are even greater. With no electricity, they huddle under the dim, flickering glow of candles to do their homework—risking fire hazards and straining their eyes night after night. The toll on their health, education, and future is immeasurable.

Witnessing the Crisis Firsthand

Moved by their suffering, Public Utilities Minister Patrick Assirvaden arrived in Bambous this morning, determined to see the crisis firsthand. Walking through the community, he witnessed the harsh conditions—families living on the fringes of modern society, denied the most basic rights.

“This cannot continue,” the minister declared. His response was immediate: an urgent assessment will be conducted to fast-track solutions. The mission is clear—to bring water and electricity to these households as quickly as possible.

While the promise of action brings a glimmer of hope, time is of the essence. Every day without power and clean water deepens the suffering of these families.

Minister Assirvaden’s commitment is a crucial first step. But for the people of Bambous, real change can’t come soon enough. Their survival depends on it.
