SIXTY-TWO PERCENT OF HOUSEHOLDS we serve DO NOT HAVE NEARBY ACCESS TO BASIC DRINKING WATER. BECAUSE OF THIS, THESE FAMILIES MUST WALK long distances TO A WATER SOURCE AND RETURN CARRYING A JERRYCAN THAT WEIGHS 40 POUNDS.

The goal of the Clean Water Project is to secure sanitary water sources that are sufficient, reliable, and affordable for our partner schools and the surrounding community. We see the need to prioritize clean drinking water, sanitary latrine conditions, and an educational water, sanitation, & hygiene (WASH) program for all of our students and staff. In addition, it is our hope to provide the communities we serve with access to clean water.

Over the next couple of years, we will be working to implement a water harvesting system at the schools, which will be open to students and the surrounding community. The Clean Water Project is comprised of several components, including a powered borehole, rainwater catchments, an above-ground reservoir, and a community-based water management system. The harvested water will then be pumped throughout the school campus, while also being available to community members. 

This project will have a dramatic impact on health of the children and throughout the communities we serve in Uganda. Together, we can provide clean drinking water, improve hygiene, reduce dangerous commutes to water sources, and create sustainable change within the community. 

Will you stand with us and support the clean water and Sanitation campaign as we commit to providing people with safe clean water?
