Safe Clean Water for 3,000 people in Rural Uganda
Our “Safe Clean Water for 3,000 people in Rural Uganda” project has been progressing well over the past 3 months since our last report.
We have not received much donations from our donors lately to enable us construct more boreholes; instead we have been embarking on maintenance work on the existing boreholes with the community members.
The benefits of the manual borehole are still been felt by community members in all the areas that they have been constructed. Cases of water-borne diseases, accidents and child abuse have continued to decrease. In addition the communities have reported that children go to school early now, and the farmers are experiencing increases in production and income levels.
The effective maintenance and repairs of the boreholes have been due to the training provided from the borehole management committees, as well as local artisans and also to the funds raised locally by community members. These provisions ensure that the boreholes will remain sustainable even without external support.
However, there is still a dire need of boreholes in other parts of Mityana and Mubende Districts where we are currently operating. There are still reports of lack of availability of safe clean drinking water in the rural areas.
We would therefore like to plead with our donors to continue supporting us so that we can be able to provide accessible safe and clean water in these needy areas.
We hope by the next quarter of writing our report we would have secured enough donations from our donors and would have been able to reach out to the needy people in the most remote areas of Uganda.
