Uganda 2023

The goal of this project was to build a well and hand pump system, which will be part of a larger project to build 57 wells across 39 communities in Uganda. Our portion of the project was started in 2023 and finished in 2025.

With the help of implementing partner, Welthungerhilfe (WHH), our water project helped bring clean water to approximately 820 people.

To ensure the sustainable management of each project, WHH Uganda establishes a Water User Committee composed of elected members from the community. These committee members receive training in forming a Village Saving and Loan Association, enhancing their financial management and record-keeping skills. This training encourages community members to save with a specific purposeand invest in maintaining their water points.

In addition, WHH Uganda establishes community health clubs and school-based water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) clubs. These clubs raise awareness and promote the adoption of safe practices. After training, club members are equipped to advocate for properly maintaining water points and preventing waterborne diseases.
