Speaking to Info Radio at the community, Madam Patricia Gabriel, a resident, indicated that the unavailability of a dam in the community has affected their economic activities.
She mentioned that most women in Kuzie community are always struggling to cater for their families.

Mr. Gabriel, another resident in the community, also lamented that the lack of dam in the community has brought community members down in rearing of animals in the community
He mentioned that their animals do get water to drink during the dry season, causing some die and others travel far and fall prey of thief.
