On 21st October, a team set off for Western Uganda to see to the official opening of the 4 water systems in the region. The team was also to participate in Evangelism, as well as training on Health, Hygiene and Sanitation. We thank God who enabled us to achieve all the above. All the water systems in this region are in schools and these include; Kinoni Girls' School, Muntuyera boys' High school, Kinyasano Girls'Secondary School and Bweranyangi Girls' School. All the schools were very grateful for the gift of safe water.
Kinoni Girls' School is one that had been hit hard due to lack of water. The school population had dwindled from over 1000 to just 200. This is because once students reported and realised that they had to fetch water moreover from a long distance, they would not return the following term. By October , they had already registered an increase in the number of students all because they now have access to water with in the school.
They were very grateful to Water Missions International, Off Tu Mission and all those that partner with these organisations to make this possible.
