Project Description

Region: Africa

Country: Uganda

Location: Nakaseke

Total Budget: $44,291

Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Water, sanitation and hygiene, Maternal and child health, Community economic development



The proposed project aims at addressing the water challenges in Kiwoko Town Council, Kikamulo, Wakyato and Kito Sub-Counties. The global challenge of accessing clean and safe water is now estimated at over 700 million people of whom half are living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nakaseke District is hugely affected by the water challenge in that water sources are few in number, containing dirty and contaminated water, far away from households, usually shared with livestock, dysfunctional boreholes that have been unused for more than eight years. The proposed project will have the following objectives;

1. To improve accessibility to safe and clean water for mainly vulnerable groups such as people living with HIV/AIDS, school children and health centres

2. To mitigate girls' absenteeism and drop-out from school

3. To contribute to the improvement of health condition of people living with HIV/AIDS

4. To enhance income for women, girls and male youths

The project duration will be 12 months; however, the start of the project is dependent on the full mobilization of the financial resources required.The project funds will be used for the following activities;

1. Community mobilization campaigns

2. Sanitation and hygiene awareness seminars

3. Procurement of rain water harvesting tanks and all other supplies and equipment for the installation

4. Training of BioSand filter producers

5. Launching the installation of the water tanks

6. Launching of the BioSand filter production

7. Printing of Information Education and Communication materials

8. Distribute water harvest tanks

9. Distribute BioSand filters

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
