President Noboa presented the water fund in Ambato: what it's about

Daniel Noboa visited this Tuesday the provinces of Bolívar and Tungurahua as part of his electoral agenda ahead of the second round on April 13. In Huasimpamba, Pelileo, he presented a key proposal: the creation of a water development fund to strengthen community irrigation projects.

This fund would be under the direction of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, led by Inés Manzano, and will have the support of the Government of Israel, recognized for its expertise in water infrastructure. The initiative seeks to address the needs of agricultural communities in a technical and effective manner, boosting production and preventing youth migration.

During his speech, Noboa highlighted the importance of choosing between “an option of dignity and justice” or a model that represents “dictatorship, totalitarianism, and misery”. He emphasized that his Government has worked closely with indigenous peoples, seeking real alternatives to improve rural quality of life.

The response from the organizations was immediate. Francisco Guachambosa, leader of the Nitón Aluleo board, expressed that the community hopes these offers materialize, as they currently have to pay between $30 and $40 per water tanker for irrigation. Ramón Silva, leader of Mocha and Quero, added that the Las Habrás dam project would benefit more than 30,000 families in Tungurahua and Chimborazo.

During his visit to Ambato, Noboa also spoke with students from Uniandes University about the role of youth in the country's development. In the evening, he was scheduled to meet with local entrepreneurs at the Ambato Industrial Park to discuss employment and production proposals.

The president-candidate's tour reflected a pragmatic approach close to the citizens, betting on technical solutions and international alliances. His proposal for the water sector adds to other recent advances in electric energy and foreign cooperation.

With the water fund, Daniel Noboa seeks to promote agricultural modernization and combat rural abandonment. His alliance with Israel represents a commitment to successful models, far from the empty promises of the past.

Daniel Noboa's proposal for community irrigation demonstrates his commitment to rural development. Through international alliances and structured solutions, he strengthens a vision of a country that bets on modernization, employment, and social justice in the Ecuadorian countryside.
