February 11th was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At H2O4ALL, we’re honouring this day because of the monumental role women around the world play in their communities’ access to safe water.
This International Education Day, we’re dedicated to empowering the next generation through sustainable safe water.
As we await the beginning of a new year, we’re grateful that 2024 was a busy and impactful year for H2O4ALL.
A safe water system in Kibaale Village brings relief to 5,000 people living through a crisis of waterborne illness.
H2O4ALL is dedicated to creating sustainability by empowering our communities. Here’s how WaSh education prepares communities to manage their own water access.
In February 2024, the ROTOM Outreach Centre opened a new safe water system. With safe water access, the staff have the clean water they need to provide safe and effective medical care to the Lusera community.
In addition, more than two thousand people in the community now have a reliable safe water source. Lusera’s seniors, many of whom were unable to make the long daily trips for water, finally have a reliable water source nearby for them and their families.
In September 2023, the water system at Ryabiregnye Village ROTOM Outreach Centre opened up to the community. Now, the seniors of Ryabirengye and their families can rest easy knowing they have access to quality medical care and a reliable, abundant source of safe water.
As we continue to seek effective ways to make positive change in our communities, we’ve begun pairing water projects at schools with food sustainability projects to improve children’s nutrition.
Our first project at Tom and Margaret Education Centre in Mawotto Village, Uganda now has a farm that includes bananas, cassava, corn, beans, groundnuts, and fruit trees, providing abundant and healthy food to Mawotto’s children.
Last January, we partnered with Reach One Touch One Ministries to implement a safe water project at Life Primary and Secondary Schools. Thanks to that project, the schools now have a safe water system that provides up to 23,000 litres a day.
In Lusera, ROTOM’s Village Outreach Centre provides medical care and financial support to over a hundred elders and their grandchildren. The new water system will empower the Outreach Centre to provide safe and effective medical care, as well as provide a reliable safe water source close to home for thousands of people in the community.
