Additionally Kuvumbana will raise awareness to community villagers on issues like water conservation, sanitation, mitigation of surface and groundwater pollution by organic wastes, and prevention of diseases like malaria and cholera caused by land degradation. The project will contribute to protection of lake, riverine, and coastal species that exist within the project area.
