LifeWater

In Q2 2022, Lifewater received $10,000 in unrestricted funding to impact approximately 300 people in two Ugandan villages. Each target community has a staggering amount of its population (85-90%) using an unsafe drinking source during the dry season as well as undue burdens put on women and girls regarding their time and safety when trekking lengthy distances to acquire clean water when it is available. Additionally, the villages have very limited concept of hand washing and its role in preventing diarrhea, particularly in regard to preventing illness in children.  By providing  access to safe water, sustainable sanitation solutions, and hygiene education, the beneficiaries of this program will gain the ability to stabilize their general health in the future and allow women and girls to safely utilize their time for better purposes.
