Safe Water - Uganda
Today, 81% of Uganda’s population lacks access to clean water, forcing families to boil unsafe water with firewood or coal. This leads to deforestation and increased CO₂ emissions. By investing in clean water solutions, we reduce the need for firewood, protect forests, improve health, and create new opportunities for local communities.
Today, 81% of Uganda's population lacks access to clean water, forcing families to boil unsafe water over firewood or coal. This drives deforestation and emissions. By investing in clean water solutions, we reduce the need for firewood, protect forests, improve health, and create new opportunities for local communities.
Environmental Impact:✅ Reduces CO₂ emissions by eliminating the need to burn wood for boiling water.✅ Preserves forests by reducing deforestation for firewood collection.
Social Impact:✅ Provides over 90,000 people with access to clean water, reducing waterborne diseases.✅ Saves time for women and children, allowing for better access to education and income-generating activities.
