Thank you for bringing safe water to Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped!
Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped started in 1969 as a project by the Uganda Spastics Society, an indigenous non-profit organization. The founding members of the Society had children with Cerebral Palsy and thus aimed at improving the quality of life and rehabilitation of children with the affliction. Sitting on about 5.5 acres, Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped is the only one of its kind in Uganda, combining Education, Rehabilitation, and Vocational skill training for children with various disabilities between the ages of 6-21.

Check out your impact!
- You brought clean water to a school with 46 staff, serving 172 students at the time of project installation
- Previously, students and staff fetched from an unreliable piped supply
- By bringing a rainwater collection system to facility grounds, we estimate that you eliminated up to 3.83 miles of walking and 2.67 hours of collection time per day!
Note: Time and distance calculations are based on the average number of 20 liter jerrycans that UWP rainwater collection systems can provide each day. We assume that every jerrycan fetched from the UWP rainwater collection system replaces one trip to the previous water source. Distance from the facility to the previous water source is calculated for a round trip as the crow flies, using GPS coordinates.
