Precious Gift Primary School
A private primary boarding and day school in Uganda, Precious Gift Primary School Zirobwe has 27 teachers serving 326 students. The school’s main water source is a shallow well with a pump, which often breaks down. When the pump is broken, it takes 107 minutes (almost 2 hours) to make a single round trip for water collection from the nearest source. The school also spends over $80 USD every month on water expenses. Providing a brand new rainwater collection system, handwashing stations, and water filters would change life at this school and for everyone in the community around it.

Our Lady Parents School
Serving 500 students in Uganda’s Kasoma community as a private day and boarding school for primary students, Our Lady Parents School Luwero, currently relies on water from a shallow well but continually finds its needs unmet. The well does not provide enough water for the school, meaning students often miss class to find other sources. This well has a latrine within 10 meters, meaning the water is unsafe for consumption. The school spends an average of $97 USD every month on water expenses alone, funds that should go to curriculum materials or even toys for the students. In order to protect the health of students and teachers, Our Lady Parents School Luwero is in need of a solution that will provide safe water for drinking, handwashing, and more.

Rena Light Nursery and Primary School
Rena Light Nursery and Primary School hosts 410 primary and nursery school students, taught by 14 teachers throughout 7 classrooms. Their main water source is an unreliable piped water source that is rarely available during school hours. The school spends an average of $25 per month on water-related expenses in order to purchase necessary water from vendors. The school does not currently treat its water, meaning it likely contains contaminants that will result in illness. In order to redeem valuable class time and eliminate a health concern for students, we are hoping to install a new rainwater collection system and provide water filters and handwashing stations.
