On the 23rd of September, we officially opened 1 more LWTS- Nakanyonyi. This Particular one was opened by George IV and is one of the first two Solar powered systems we have in Uganda. The community of Nakanyonyi was very grateful for the wonderful gift of not just water, but safe living water. They said that for over 20 years they had been trying to find sources of water that would help them solve the problem but to no avail.
Prior to assistance from WMI, the nearest source was 1 kilometer away. The system was installed in Nakanyonyi secondary School, they testify that now their students will have more time to concentrate on their studies. This is because they won't have to run around looking for water anymore. Thanks to WMI and all the partners, now they have it as a miracle in their compound!! We thank you all for your tireless efforts that help to make this possible.
George Opening the System
Finally... time to taste the"too good to be true "

Health and Hygiene trainings were also conducted. One wants to be sure that the communities know how to utilize the water and how to maintain proper hygiene.
The students were taught to;
Brush teeth properly...
Wash hands well with soap...
