Adjacent to the resort is the village of Mahungo where, for many years, the residents of this village had to walk a distance of up to 3km to reach Bilene’s river for both drinking water and the washing of laundry. SMBC is pleased to announce that it has recently donated 2 boreholes (each one sufficient to meet the needs of 700 residents), which come complete with laundry facilities. Thanks to this initiative villagers now have ready access to fresh water a mere 1km away.
