The Project will provide access to clean and safe water to the 14,000 villages currently without access to clean and safe water in Uganda. It will drill a community Borehole in each of the 14,000 villages. In addition, the project will identify, form and build the capacity of 14,000 community water-user committees comprising of 26 members per village to promote hygiene and sanitation and also ensure sustainable usage of the water sources.
Currently 14,000 out of about 70,600 villages still lack access to safe water with 75% of Uganda's disease burden being preventable diseases like cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, typhoid, and skin and eye infections directly linked to inadequate WASH services. Over 4,500 children in Uganda die annually from diarrheal diseases linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation. Women and girls bear the burden as they walk long distances to fetch water, sacrificing education, rest, and productivity time.
Good Cause Foundation is working communities affected to drill a community Borehole for every village of at least 1000 people in Uganda thus bringing clean water closer to people, reduce waterborne related diseases, reduce on the miles covered by women and girls to get clean water, increase school attendance, promote productivity, improve on their health conditions, form water-user committees and increase awareness on WASH
This project will bring clean water sources closer to communities and provide permanent access to clean and safe water to 14,000 villages in Uganda. It will improve sanitation and hygiene and train 14,000 water-user committees and to create awareness, promote good health, productivity improving on school, attendance, reduce water borne diseases, illnesses and death.
