Posted by Mitchell LeGrand on December 23, 2024

On December 14th, H2O for Life kicked off our 4th year of our high school fellowship program. We’ve gone from 10 fellows in 2021 to 42 fellows in our cohort this year!

This year we decided to include in our kickoff some of our alumni who could speak about their experiences as fellows over the years.

Ebenezer Project Complete

Posted by Steve Hall on December 9, 2024

Thank you for bringing safe water to Ebenezer Christian Primary School! BEFORE: Located in Uganda’s Lugaazi community as a boarding and day school for primary and nursery students, Ebenezer Christian Primary School currently relies on piped water but continually finds its needs unmet. The piped water is unreliable and frequently breaks down or runs dry, so the school has to spend valuable resources on providing water to the students and staff. Even with these additional sources, water retrieved is not stored safely afterward. To protect the health of students and redeem critical classroom time, Ebenezer School needs a rainwater collection […]

Green Land Water Collection

Thank you for bringing safe water to Green Land Junior School! BEFORE: Students at Green Land Junior School, located in Kiduusu, Uganda, fetch water twice a day from the unsafe shallow well on campus – this is their main source, yet often breaks down and has an insufficient supply to provide for the school. The quality is poor, and this well is situated less than 10 meters from the latrine facilities at the school. In the past year, the well was broken for over six months in total. While the school does have an existing rainwater collection system, it does […]

Thank you for bringing safe water to Fausarah Kindergarten & Primary School! Located in Uganda’s Kiryagonja community as a private boarding and day school, Fausarah Kindergarten & Primary School relied on water from pipes on the campus but continually found its needs unmet. The piped water is inconsistent and provides an insufficient quantity of water for the school, so students had to fetch water from other sources off school grounds. To protect the health of students and redeem critical classroom time, Fausarah School needed a rainwater collection system that would provide safe water for drinking, handwashing, and more. The Ugandan […]

Bukwaya Well Drilled

Posted by Steve Hall on December 9, 2024

Bukwaya Primary School is located in the Iganga district of Uganda. The school has a pair of rainwater harvesting tanks that work great during and immediately after the rainy season but remain empty most of the year. BEFORE: The most often-used water source was a community well almost a mile away. Due to the lack of safe water sources in the area, the lines at the community well are always long, and the students miss a lot of class time walking to and from the well. Community members also waiting in line for the water often get upset at the […]
