ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER
In Uganda alone, over 8 million people lack access to clean, safe drinking water as over 70% of all diseases treated in Uganda stem directly from a lack of clean water or poor sanitation and hygiene techniques. People in rural areas draw their drinking water mainly from surface sources such as ponds, rivers and lakes.
Ensuring access to clean water is a fundamental aspect of our mission at Hands of Hope. We work tirelessly to implement sustainable solutions that address water scarcity and promote hygiene and sanitation practices within communities. Our approach involves constructing water infrastructure such as wells,boreholes, and water purification systems, as well as providing training on water management and conservation.
By collaborating with local communities and engaging community members, we strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to safe andreliable sources of clean water, thus improvinghealth outcomes, enhancing livelihoods, andfostering resilience in the face of water-relatedchallenges.
