Completed Projects: Advancing Nchum Through Development.

Discover the key projects we have successfully completed to uplift the Nchum community. These include the construction of school buildings, development of health infrastructure, expansion of water supply systems, electrification, and road improvements. Each project reflects our shared dedication to building a healthier, better-educated, and well-connected community.

As our community grows and the village expands, several foundational projects have been completed or developed to a stage where they are actively serving the people, while still being expanded to meet increasing needs as the population increases by the day.

1. Water Project

Our journey began in the late 1980s with the launch of the first water project, which marked a major milestone in improving public health. For the first time, residents of our community enjoyed access to clean, piped water. The excitement was enormous and palpable, children eagerly filled containers not only to help their families but also because of the joy the activity brought to them. Over time, individuals who could afford it extended the water supply to their homes, enhancing convenience and privacy. This access to reliable water has not only improved health outcomes but also supported other development efforts, including construction and agriculture.

2. Road Network

Initially, apart from the national road that runs about 2 kilometers through Nchum, movement within the community was limited to footpaths used to access farms and neighboring areas. Thanks to the support of the Village Community Project (VCP), a motorable road was constructed across the village, greatly improving mobility. In the years that followed, NDA worked to develop additional roads; however, many remained inaccessible to vehicles due to the lack of bridges and in the years, grew back to footpaths. Local wooden footbridges only supported pedestrian traffic. Currently, NDA is dedicated to building durable bridges to open these roads to vehicles, paving the way for expanded movement, easier access, and new housing developments.
