THE BIG PICTURE AT A GLANCE
- 99% of households can now access clean water within a 30-minute round-trip, compared to the 35% before the project began. A 182.9% increase!
- Waterborne diseases dropped from 95.2% to 14%, an 85% decrease. That means fewer sick days and better educational outcomes!
- Schools have seen an improved latrine-to-student ratio of 1:44 (down from 1:140) and a 30% decrease in absenteeism thanks to water & safe latrines.
This work wouldn’t have been possible without the collective efforts of you and our other dedicated partners – Ibanda District leaders for their local knowledge and support, Rotary for their technical expertise and funding, ACTS Uganda for spearheading the planning, implementation, and training!
ROSETTE'S FIRST SIP
Rosette grew up in Irimya where the only source of water was one shared with dangerous wildlife (elephants, frogs, and more) and carried waterborne diseases that often made her family was sick.
Thanks to your willingness to create a better world, the new water system in her community has brought a wonderful wave of change !
After more than a year’s worth of prayer, pipe-laying, pledges, and persistence, the water is in their hands!
