Raise $50,000 to fully fund Clean Water Projects at three large primary schools in the slums on Kampala, Uganda.
The goal of this project is to provide students, teachers and staff at Namungona, Kasubi and Nateete Primary Schools with access to clean drinking water, vitally important sanitation facilities and hygiene education. You'll touch the lives of more than 2020 children and their teachers!
Having clean water and basic sanitation facilities like toilets and latrines on school grounds is crucial to creating a school environment that's conducive to learning and healthy development!
Imagine if:
Not a pretty thought is it? But it's reality for millions of students in developing countries.
With your help and the help of WaterCan's partner organization, Community Integrated Development Initiatives (CIDI), we're going to improve these deplorable water and sanitation conditions! Each school will receive a 10,000-liter water harvesting tank to provide clean, safe drinking water. Latrine facilities with separate stalls for boys and girls will be built using locally available construction materials, and age-appropriate hygiene education activities will augment the benefits brought by new infrastructure.
These young boys and girls deserve a school environment that facilitates their healthy development, physically and intellectually. Hope you consider helping us meet this challenge!
More details are available in the Chapter Lounge.
Last year , WaterCan@University chapters raised over $37,630 in support of Clean Water@Schools projects at Sodo Liben and Keta Insilale Primary Schools in Ethiopia! THANK YOU!
