The National Development Bank Limited has answered the cries of the people of Vadavada settlement in Port Moresby after gifting them with a 9000 litre Tuffa Tank.
The presentation was made yesterday to Pastor Jeremiah Wambu, who shed tears saying it was a dream come true.
Community leader John Pea said the brand new water tank was one of the answers to the many hardships faced by people living in settlements in the nation’s capital.
“It’s a real struggle and pain to have access to water. We’re so happy and thankful to NDB. It’s a dream come true for us. Thank you for hearing our cries,” said Pea.
Senior human resource officer, Benson Pamea, explained the will to help came from the staff of NDB.
He said K4,000 was used as seed capital and after making K7,000 from fundraising, the tank was purchased.
Managing director of NDB, Moses Liu, asked the people of Vadavada to look after the water tank.
“Water is life. Look after the tank so everyone can benefit from it,” said Liu.
