The Water Project

In Uganda's Bikonzi Community, the path to water once climbed a steep hill. For 65-year-old Agnes, every jerrycan she carried up that slope cost her energy she didn't have to spare. She fetched anyway, day after day, because her family needed her to.

But our donors have changed that. Now, the community’s new well sits just 500 meters from her door, which means a quick, 15-minute round trip instead of an exhausting climb. These days, Agnes mops her floors with ease, serves meals on time, and is even putting aside savings for a future piggery, a dream now within reach because water is no longer a battle.

"This has brought a sense of comfort and well-being to our home,” she shares.
