BACK TO THE BEGINNING
United by their desire to see communities experience freedom from water poverty, James and George began to envision how they could advocate for clean water. Before long, James and his friend Derek Levendusky raised funds for their first rainwater collection system through the worship ministry they both belonged to at the time, Isaiah Six Ministries. This side project quickly grew beyond anyone’s expectations, and in 2009, James left his job to pursue this new mission full-time as a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Today, UWP has become an innovative WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) organization that has provided clean drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people across Uganda and continues to lead the way in setting industry standards for water solution excellence.
