Thanks to your generosity in early 2016, a school in in the Northern Region of Uganda has access to clean water! The donations funded a water project in a region where only 23% of the population has access to clean water.
Each school project includes a water source, a handwashing station, toilets and training on hygiene. Having projects like this at schools not only improve health, they've been shown to increase attendance and can serve as a catalyst to improve the overall health of the surrounding community.
We publish a project when we've approved a final report from our partners and made sure your project is working for the best of the community.
These are the GPS coordinates of your project, plotted in Google Maps. A GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinate is the exact latitude and longitude of any given point on the Earth’s surface. charity: water uses GPS coordinates to record the location of each water project we fund. Please note: there are many of different formats for GPS. We use degree decimal format.
This is the population of the community that has access to your water project.
This is the cost of the water project you funded. Costs vary by country and by project type, and depend on a wide range of variables such as the local cost of fuel and cement at the time your project was built. This project’s cost includes any hygiene training or community maintenance models for the project’s sustainability.
charity: water works with partners in the field to build and implement water projects. Our partners have years of experience. They know the land, the people, the culture and the most appropriate water technology for each area of work. They report this data from the field to help us provide proof of your completed project(s).
