Why does clean water change everything?

image

Over 8.4 million people in Uganda live without access to safe drinking water. For mothers, this means constant threats from parasites and waterborne diseases. For young girls, it means walking kilometres each day with heavy cans instead of attending school. Clean water unlocks education, good health, gender equality, and food security. Water isn’t just life-changing—it’s life itself.

How is Acts for Water different?

We take a holistic approach that goes far beyond drilling wells. Our long-lasting Gravity Flow Systems deliver clean, accessible water directly into villages—saving families hours each day. Alongside water, we partner with communities through year-long training in sanitation and hygiene, build taps and latrines at schools, and equip households to raise living standards. Every project is backed by rigorous monitoring, so we can prove—not just hope—that disease is reduced and lives are transformed.
