Kalongole Village, Mpigi District, Uganda

“Access to clean water in Kalongole village has significantly reduced the need for community members, especially women and children, to walk long distances to fetch water. Eliminating the need to walk long distances for clean water in this community has had far-reaching benefits that extend beyond mere convenience. It has enhanced health, education, gender equality, economic opportunities, and community well-being, contributing to sustainable development and improved quality of life for all members of the Kalongole community.”

 Nakamya Christine, Community Member.

This project was undertaken as part of our campaign of projects that actively reduce carbon emissions. This project helped the community save their much needed wood which was previously being burnt daily to boil water. This project has also eliminated the many thousands of hours previously spent on walking to collect water.
