DRC: An additional 330,000 m³ of drinking water – H.E. Félix Tshisekedi keeps his promise
The taps in Kinshasa are finally about to fill. President Félix Tshisekedi has commissioned modules 2 and 3 of the Binza-Ozone industrial water treatment complex. The result: an additional 330,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day for a capital that has suffered for decades from a lack of running water.
For too long, the people of Kinshasa endured the ordeal of outages, long lines at public fountains, and murky water flowing from taps.
That era is coming to an end. With this new capacity, hundreds of thousands of families will see their daily lives transformed. No more waking up at 3 a.m. in search of water.
But His Excellency Félix Tshisekedi is not stopping there. Behind the scenes, his government is preparing TRANSFORME DRC, a project aimed at boosting local entrepreneurship, especially among women.
Because water is vital. But providing jobs for Congolese people is equally urgent. The idea is simple: help those who create, support those who take risks, and foster the emergence of a middle class that will drive the country forward.
Another hot topic: the 3rd DRC-Angola Economic Forum. Kinshasa and Luanda want to strengthen ties.
These two vast neighboring countries are rich in resources, yet their trade remains below its potential. This forum is an opportunity to talk business, open up routes, and facilitate the f
low of goods. The kind of high-stakes gathering that matters, far from mere speeches.
In three years, President Félix Tshisekedi has made water his personal battle. With this commissioning, he is fulfilling one of his electoral promises.
