Water and sanitation are essential for life and health, but they are also essential for dignity, empowerment and prosperity. Water and sanitation are human rights, fundamental to every child and adult. But in Uganda, poor sanitation and hygiene, as well as unequal access to safe drinking water, make thousands of children very sick and at risk of death.
Another Hope Children’s Ministries (AHCM), saw that there was need to improve sanitation in Uganda and through their Water Life Project, they gave out ten (10) water filters to ten (10) families in the village of Buwaya and two(2) to two churches in Wakiso in 2022.
A story by a church member.
God is good. First and foremost I want to thank Another Hope Children’s Ministries for having a loving heart and thought of our church by giving us a free water filter. To be sincere I would sing and praise, but after my singing you would feel like needed water. I remember of a time I drank dirty water because I was very thirsty, and I got a stomach upset, but thanks to Another Hope Children’s Ministries we can now access clean and safe drinking water. May the good Lord bless you abundantly
For a very long time we have been struggling with boiling drinking water which would be hard because now days firewood is hard to get. Even the cooked water that would be put in containers that are not covered. It would end up contaminated. My children would drink water from dirty jerrycans which came from a shallow well. Sometimes cows drink from the same well. I thank God for Another Hope Children’s Ministries that gave us a free water filter, Now my children drink water that has been filtered. This has helped our sanitation improve. We no longer hustle for firewood to cook drinking water. I find the water filter easy to use and time is saved and water is readily available. Thank you, Another Hope and sponsors. May the Lord reward you abundantly.
In conclusion, your support has seen many children’s lives improved from drinking unsafe water to drinking safe and clean water.
A big thanks to you and everyone who sponsors our activities.
With a loving heart
