The Ugandan Water Project exists to empower communities in Uganda by equipping them with catalyst resources and training that provide sustainable access to clean, safe drinking water.

The Ugandan Water Project addresses the water crisis by funding and implementing innovative water solutions that provide clean, safe drinking water to women, men, and children in communities across Uganda. Currently, we focus our efforts on four key water solutions: (1.) advanced water filtration systems, (2.) rainwater collection systems, (3.) borehole well rehabilitations, and (4.) borehole well installations.

To accomplish this work, we partner with schools, businesses, families, organizations, churches, and individuals of all ages who share our passion for seeing the end of the water crisis in Uganda. Whether it's through a one-time gift, monthly support, fundraising campaign, or project sponsorship, we leverage our supporters' resources to create maximum impact in Ugandan communities.

Excellence is one of the Ugandan Water Project's core values, so we strive to lead the way among water organizations when it comes to the quality of our work. The four water solutions we currently provide are executed by our local team of Ugandan experts, who are highly trained in industry-leading standards for community needs assessment, project implementation, and long-term monitoring and evaluation. Combined with the high priority we place on empowering communities to be knowledgeable of and trained in maintaining their specific water solutions, and our commitment to using only the highest quality materials and installation techniques, each project we complete is able to provide reliable and low-cost access to safe drinking water for decades.

To measure the long-term impact of our projects and ensure communities are equipped with the necessary training and knowledge to properly maintain them, our Ugandan staff and crew visit each project site every six months for the first two years after installation and remain available to the community after that period. Using advanced monitoring and evaluation software, we're able to track project outcomes and easily share that information, including GPS coordinates, photos, and survey data, with sponsors to foster a culture of transparency and trust with every one of our supporters.

As of June 2018, UWP has successfully completed 443 water projects, including 360+ rainwater collection systems, 70+ borehole well repairs, 4 new borehole well installations, and 4 handwashing stations. We've also distributed over 200 filtration systems in 2018 alone. Together, these projects have benefited more than 187,500 children, women, and men across Uganda since 2008.
