Rotary Club, LCC and Limbe Seattle Sisters Association partner to donate borehole to Mokindi

In a bid to provide a potable water supply to inhabitants of Mokindi village in Limbe II Subdivision, Rotary Club Limbe, Limbe City Council (LCC) and Seattle Sisters Association partnered to donate a borehole to Mokindi village.

Speaking during the inaugural ceremony on Friday, November 21, 2025, the President of Rotary Club Limbe, Dr. Bijingni Kuwoh Pius, said the 20,000-liter borehole will serve the community of Mokindi and beyond.

“This new borehole represents more than just a source of water; it is a symbol of hope, health, and progress for our community,”

“Many families will now have reliable access to clean water, reducing waterborne diseases and improving overall quality of life.” Dr. Bijingni Kuwoh said.

He added that the realisation of this project is thanks to efforts from club members, partners, and supporters who share their vision of "service above self."

As Rotarians, Rotary Club Limbe is also at the forefront of the global fight against polio. Since the launch of the Polio Eradication Initiative, millions of children have been vaccinated. In line with this, Rotary Club Limbe donated two wheelchairs to Limbe Handicap Association members.

The representative of the Senior Divisional Officer for Fako, the Divisional Officer for Limbe II Subdivision, Meke Albert Serge, applauded LCC’s efforts in seeking partners to foster development in the Limbe municipality.

He urged them not to relent in their efforts to seek more partners to develop the Limbe municipality. He also cautioned the Mokindi water management committee to preserve the water to attract more development to their village.

In his intervention, Limbe City Mayor, Paul Efome L.M. Ngale, said the principal mission of Limbe City Council (LCC) is to provide basic social amenities for the wellbeing of the population.

He added that over the years, LCC has made efforts to open several stand taps within the local communities to serve as potable water sources.

Paul Efome explained that this project will certainly go a long way to alleviate the water shortage witnessed in Mokindi. “I am glad that this collaboration aligns with my slogan of ‘building together’,” he added.

The Chief of Mokindi village, HRM Paul Njie Lifanjo, thanked the Rotary Club and all stakeholders of the project for choosing Mokindi village for this durable borehole, which he opined is a great facility for the people of Mokindi village. HRM Paul Njie however, pleaded for more boreholes in Mokindi village.

The representative of Seattle Sisters Association Limbe, Sone Kingsley, said the objective of Seattle Sisters Association is to provide clean, safe drinking water and improve hygiene and sanitation in Limbe.

He added that this donation drive is a result of a 10-year partnership with LCC and the second borehole realisation project with Rotary Club Limbe.

Sone Kingsley opined that with this 20,000-liter supply of clean water for over 3,000 inhabitants of Mokindi village, it will reduce the time women and children spend searching for water.

The President of the Limbe Handicraft Association, Kate Kaivi, thanked Rotary Club Limbe for assisting them with two wheelchairs, which she opined will go a long way to assist them.

With over 250 members in their association, Kate Kaivi pleaded with Rotary Club Limbe not to relent in their efforts to always assist them.
