Safe Clean Water for 6,000 People in Rural Uganda
The Safe Clean Water for 6,000 people in Rural Uganda was set up to provide access to water for vulnerable communities living in drought prone rural areas. As a result of our past interventions, we have seen many communities experiencing significant improvements in terms of their health, welfare and economic performance. Moreover, because of the falls in water-borne infections in the above areas, people have gained more time to invest in agricultural production whether through raising livestock or cultivating land. As a result, we have had many reports of communities achieving higher incomes, better nutrition and overall improved quality of life.
We have been reporting these benefits to our donors in order to create awareness of the positive changes that have been happening in the targeted communities. We have yet to receive donations which will help us to effectively start the new project for an additional 3,000 people in Rural Uganda. As these funds have not been forthcoming, we have been unable to construct any additional boreholes.
Since the announcement of the new project, the targeted communities have been looking forward to the construction of the new boreholes within their communities. However, because of the financial constraints we have been unable to start construction. As reported last quarter, the people of Mityana have provided some pieces of land to the project to express their willingness and support to start the construction of more boreholes to meet the growing need of safe clean water.
We would like to thank once again our various past donors who have given generously through GlobalGiving. Your donations have gone a very long way in making a positive impact in the health and livelihoods of rural communities in Mubende and Mityana Districts in Uganda.
It is in this that we are appealing to our many donors to continue contributing towards our project so that we can support this much needed project. This project will provide vital water and sanitation support to needy communities in the rural areas of Uganda. We encourage you all to consider donating towards a worthy cause.
