Lifewater

Lifewater: $15,000 for a deep well project in the Lira District of Uganda. There is a demonstrated urgent need for more clean water sources and increased sanitation solutions in this region, with an estimated 69% of disease cases in the district being directly related to issues of sanitation and water. Education and building latrines are key components of the organization’s community transformation model, which integrates hygiene education with sanitation infrastructure and clean water source development. Research indicates that interventions combining these 3 approaches can reduce water borne disease by at least 65%.
