	D-1247    Uganda - Iganga Water and Sanitation $15,418 The community of Namalemba Parish started on the construction of the health unit about fifteen years ago. This unit, with limited facilities and two nurses, has for the last ten years addressed the health, curative, and maternity needs of a community of 26,000 people who would otherwise have to travel at least 16 km to the nearest hospitals in Iganga or Nsinze. Even then, the majority find the public transport costs prohibitive, and would have to take a 2 - 3hr bicycle journey. Two years ago, the community embarked on the construction of a three ward in-patient unit. This building, with an internal floor area of 220 square meters is now complete. It requires the installation of an external septic tank and drainage system; ventilated-improved pit (VIP) latrines; and rain-water harvesting to provide a sustaonable supply of water for the Health Unit. The Health Unit is built near a church, providing opportunity for water harvesting from both the Health Unit and the church roofs.
