Clean Water Projects

Providing sustainable access to safe drinking water and transforming health in rural Ugandan communities.

The Water Crisis in Uganda

In rural Uganda, access to clean, safe drinking water remains a significant challenge. Many communities rely on contaminated water sources, leading to waterborne diseases that disproportionately affect children and the elderly.

Health Risks

Contaminated water causes diseases like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery

Child Impact

Children spend hours collecting water instead of attending school

Gender Inequality

Women and girls bear the burden of water collection, limiting opportunities

Quick Facts

Population without clean water: 10 million+
Water-related deaths annually: 4,500 children
Average distance to water: 3-5 km walk
Time spent collecting water: 4-6 hours daily
