Water Blogged

For the 441 students at Pabidi in the Pabbo sub-county of Amuru district, Uganda, getting a drink of water used to mean taking a risk. The school’s only water source was a hand-dug waterhole. Because it relied on shallow groundwater, it was constantly exposed to surface runoff and contamination—making it unsafe for the children to drink.

Now, that has changed.

Thanks to our implementing partner, Drop in the Bucket, a new borehole well has been drilled right on the school grounds, providing clean, safe water for all 441 students and their teachers.

A special thank you to The Haverford School in Pennsylvania for supporting this project and making safe water a reality for the Pabidi community!
