From Arlington to Kigaaga

Posted by Steve Hall on June 15, 2023

Thank you to St. Joseph Catholic School in Texas for helping to bring safe water to Kamukungu Catholic Primary School, Kigaaga Central LC1, Uganda!

Check out your impact!

  • You brought clean water to a school with 12 staff, serving 420 students at the time of project installation
  • Previously, students and staff fetched from ⁠an insufficient rainwater collection system
  • By bringing a rainwater collection system to facility grounds, we estimate that you eliminated up to 72.34 miles of walking and 8.75 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.
