Water Well Repairs

Restoring clean water to communities in Northern Uganda

The gift of clean water

This project supports the urgent need for repairs to boreholes for drinking and hygiene. Access to clean drinking water helps to reduce poverty and brings transformation to communities. 

The facts

Only 60% of households have access to improved water sources

Many people travel 5-10km, three times per day to collect water, especially women and children

Having to collect water prevents young girls from attending school

Relying on water from rivers or unprotected wells can pose health risks due to contamination

Lack of clean drinking water means a higher prevalence of waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea

Without wells, access to safe water sources becomes scarce during the dry season
