UGANDAN WATER PROJECT INC

The Ugandan Water Project exists to see Uganda as a nation liberated from the bondage of water-borne disease and poverty as communities leverage the transformative power of clean water to empower all people to live the lives they were created for. We work toward this vision by implementing and advocating for safe and sustainably managed water, sanitation, and hygiene resources across Uganda, deploying the best available version of each resource and working collaboratively with local stakeholders to ensure they last.

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.

As of January 2021, UWP has successfully funded 816 major water projects, including 528 rainwater collection systems, 273 borehole well rehabilitations, 7 new borehole well installations, 7 handwashing stations, and 1 gravity-fed system. We've also distributed hundreds of filtration systems in 2020 alone. Together, these projects have benefited more than 260,000 children, women, and men across Uganda since 2008.
