The Ugandan Water Project is a non-profit humanitarian organization that works with sponsors in the US to provide safe accessible drinking water and other catalyst resources to communities in Uganda. Our goal is to implement relational solutions that help Ugandans pull themselves out of poverty in a sustainable way so they can live the lives they were created for.
We provide funding for Rainwater Collection Systems that harvest the abundant rainfall in East Africa. Each 2,500 gallon rainwater collection tank provides a stable source of drinking water for about 400 people. A project can be installed in about 30 days from the point of complete funding and the total budget is only $3,500. A system like this has a lifespan of about 30 years.
REAL-ationships
The Ugandan Water Project believes that it is in the context of genuine relationships that life-change happens. With that in mind, personal connection is the currency of all we do. Sponsors of our Rainwater Collection Systems are connected to the names and faces of those they are helping in specific Ugandan villages. We work hand in hand with local leaders in Uganda and our most of our efforts are implemented by the people who have the largest interest in seeing change happen.
