Ensuring Your Gift has Maximum Impact
Acts for Water is one of Canada’s oldest charities, focused on sustainable, holistic clean water programs. We partner with communities in Uganda to help them embrace the benefits of life-giving clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Our vision is for people to thrive, starting with clean water. We sustainably invest in long-term, partnership-driven solutions to make this vision a reality.
Everything starts with water. We begin with Gravity Flow Systems, the most sustainable, drought-resistant, economical way to provide clean water to villages and communities in Uganda.
To ensure clean water reaches its full potential, we conduct a 12-month comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene training program (WASH) in homes and schools (where we also build latrines). By completion, communities achieve the country’s highest hygiene and sanitation levels.
Our exit strategy helps prepare communities to thrive by including entrepreneurship training, system governance, partnerships with NGOs, local health authorities, and digital monitoring solutions.
The Acts for Water Difference
100% of systems we oversee are operational and are on a retrofit schedule. The industry has a 70% fail rate.
Our hygiene programs outperform industry averages by 200%, and entrepreneurship programs enable 97% of participants to be sustainably lifted out of poverty when partnered with water projects.
Just months after water and sanitation programs come to schools, we’ve seen an 85% decrease in absenteeism from illness and a 15% increase in female enrolment, giving hope for a whole generation.
