Kumi Christian Visionary School is located in the Eastern Region of Uganda in the town of Kumi. H2O for Life schools previously supported a borehole well that was installed on the school property in 2014. Although the well had been working adequately, the government of Uganda has passed a law requiring all new wells to be fitted with stainless steel pipes.

The closest water source was a borehole well used by the local community, located about half a mile from the school. Once the children arrived at the well, they had to wait […]
