WHY WATER?
- 2.1 billion people on the earth lack access to safe, clean water. 4.5 million people lack properly managed sanitation facilities. Around 24 million people in Uganda, especially children, don’t have access to safe, clean water. About 200 homes per village don’t have a borehole/water well.
- Ugandans share swamps, lakes and rivers with domestic animals like cows, goats and wild animals.
- People who live on the islands in Lake Victoria also need safe water because this lake is polluted and contaminated.
- Children at schools don’t have access to clean water thus affecting their classes. Three to six hours on average per day is spent by children and women collecting water from distant sources. This time could be spent in other developmental activities like education, economic investments and socialization.
- During my childhood in the village, I had to fetch drinking water from a swamp which was the only source of water. This inspired me to start the process of digging boreholes/water wells in the villages- Keneth Nsekera, founder of Water Is Long Life.
- Through implementing WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) solutions like drilling of boreholes/ water wells, WILL believes that lives can be empowered, transformed and sustained.
