Access to clean, safe drinking water is a basic human right and should never be compromised. Under-served communities have historically been disproportionately impacted by poor water quality throughout Uganda and entire Africa at large. These communities are exposed to unsafe drinking water and toxic pollution.
Every day in rural communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe water. For school-aged children it's a burden that traps them in poverty.
Children often bear the burden of walking miles each day to find water in streams and ponds, full of water-borne disease that is making them and their families sick.Illness and the time lost fetching it robs entire communities of their futures.
Access to safe water improves the health of families and children, keeps girls in school, gives people back their time lost collecting water, and empowers the leaders of tomorrow.
