Water Blogged

Nawangisa Primary School is located in the village of Mwendanfuko, sub-county Nabitende, in the Iganga District of Uganda. The current school enrollment is 323 girls and 358 boys.

BEFORE:
The school had no clean water, leaving them with two options – neither ideal. The first was a community borehole, and the second was a local swamp. The head teacher went to the local community to ask if her students could use the well. While the community agreed, this situation was far from ideal. The community near the well is large, so the students would end up standing in long lines waiting for water. The teachers were frustrated that their students spent so much time fetching water and wished the school had its own water source.

AFTER:
Our implementing partner, Drop in the Bucket, drilled a borehole well which will provide safe water on the school grounds for years to come!
