Apex Nursery and Primary School
Serving 373 students in Uganda’s Tula community as a private boarding and day primary and nursery school, Apex Nursery and Primary School currently relies on a metallic rainwater collection tank that has a low storage capacity and is breaking down - so much so that the Ugandan Water Project (UWP) team, our implementing partner, on the ground cited it as “beyond repairing.” The school must also bring water in from a tanker truck, meaning they pay roughly 500,000 Ush ($135 USD) monthly on water expenses alone. Apex Nursery and Primary School does use chlorine tablets to clean their water, but those are extra money and are difficult to dose. The UWP filter systems will eliminate that cost, and the water will be much safer. Overall, Apex Nursery and Primary School needs a rainwater collection system to provide safe drinking water, handwashing, and more.
Bukwaya Primary School
Bukwaya Primary School is located in the Iganga district of Uganda.

The most often-used source of water is a community well almost a mile away.

Lamin Oyo Community School
Lamin Oyo Community School's sole water source is a seasonal waterhole that only fills during and shortly after the rainy season, and then quickly dries up. Additionally, the water drawn from the waterhole is contaminated and leads to numerous diseases.
Sir Nimrod Infant & Junior School
Serving 224 students in Uganda’s Muyenje community as a private boarding and day school for primary and nursery students, Sir Nimrod Infant & Junior School currently relies on water from a traditional well but continually finds its needs unmet.
Sonde Global Junior School
Sonde Global Junior School is a private boarding and day school that serves nursery and primary students. 31 staff members serve roughly 530 students, 25 of whom are also boarding. The primary water source is piped water on the campus, but it often breaks down and does not provide sufficient water for the school. The flow is inconsistent, and water needs to be fetched from other sources during all seasons. Students fetch water twice a day, roughly 20 boys and 20 girls. The school spends roughly 670,000 Ush ($181 USD) on monthly water expenses. A rainwater collection system will provide an additional source of water and storage capacity when water is unavailable elsewhere.
