You are transforming the poor community in Uganda

By James Malinga | Executive Director

Thank you so much for transforming the poor communities in Uganda,since the beginning of this year, we have visited the community health center for over two times and 60 households, only 2 cases of diarhoea and typhoid reported, this means that there is a tremendous improvement in the community, people drink safe and clean purified water from the water purifier, this year, we are targetting 500 families and 10 schools, so that children drink clean and safe water both at home and at school.

40 women in the community told our monitoring team that they have also been able to save money on charcoal because they donot need to boil water anymore, the project has enabled 500 households save money as well as time that would have been spent on boiling and cooling water, this also implied to us that whenever there was no money for chacoal, they could drink unboiled water.

Will you help us reach 500 families and save life?

We are promoting clean and safe water for all

By James Malinga | Project Leader

Hi, Thanks once again for your help in ensuring the poor communities get safe and clean water, in our next financial year,we are looking forward to ensuring safe and clean water for all.

Over 50 households are testifying of how they can now drink clean water, a total of 2 primary schools this year have benfited from the project, we still have a number of schools that need our intervention, here is a case study:

Kafumu primary school does not have any water trapping system, neither does it have a nearest water source, the available pond is in a distance in excess of 1 kilometer away from the school, consequently a sizeable portion of the day is spent in the collection of water, children are the primary water collectors at school. The beneficiaries are young school going children 3-13 years of age who are from a poor community who also fetch water for domestic use after school, doing it both at school and home is a double worker

Mountains of Hope plans to install a 10,000 liter tank next to the classrooms, the amount of rain water that will be collected from the roofs will be clean and provide safe drinking water and water for washing hands for all the 420 children at school, the water user committees and school management committees will be trained to appreciate the scheme of roof water harvesting for domestic use too.

The school requires a minimum of 0.5 liters of water per day per pupil, this water is used primarily for preparation of daily lunch which is usually a cup of porridge, water is also used for drinking and washing utensils and hands, the nearby community also fetches this water for domestic use.

Mountains of Hope is fundraising $3500 for this school on Globalgiving on a project named Awater harvesting system to 3 Primary schools. Project ID (30049)
