Clean Water that Flows for Generations

Here’s how you can get involved.

Ensuring Your Gift has Maximum Impact

Everything starts with water. We begin with Gravity Flow Systems, the most sustainable, drought-resistant, economical way to provide clean water to villages and communities in Uganda. We’ve built more of these than any other NGO in Africa.

To ensure clean water reaches its full potential, we conduct a 12-month comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene training program (WASH) in homes and schools (where we also build latrines). By completion, communities achieve the country’s highest hygiene and sanitation levels.

The Source

Located in the hills above the villages we work in, these clean water springs bubble up from underground at a flow rate of 0.7 to 3 litres a second.

Village or Trading Centre

Anywhere from 4,000 up to 25,000 people will have access to clean water from one of our Gravity Flow Systems.

Concrete Reservoir

Reservoirs of up to 20,000 litres control water pressure and provide emergency supply in the event of a temporary reduction in water flow.

Tap Stand

Tap stands are often located in front of schools and clinics, strategically placed so no village member has to walk more than 500 metres to reach clean, safe water.

Each system uses between 5 and 90 kilometres of pipeline which is buried three feet underground for protection.
