Septic Tank Cleaning #1 (2025)
In 2022 our implementing partner, DigDeep, conducted a sanitation pilot to better understand the issue on the Navajo Nation. They learned that many of their clients, who they had been serving through their water programs, were also lacking access to basic sanitation, like a flush toilet, in their homes. Many families rely on outhouses, while others have septic systems in place, but they are not operational and many families cannot afford the high costs associated with repair. They also learned that some homes may be eligible for connection to mainline sewer services, but because their bathrooms were out of code, they were unable to connect to these services. As a result of these learnings, DigDeep deepened its commitment to providing sanitation services to clients across the Navajo Nation. In 2023, as part of DigDeep’s sanitation pilot program, they completed 15 septic tank installations, 120 septic tank cleanings, 2 leach line replacements, and 9 bathroom upgrades—serving 466 people in 146 households. In addition, they installed its first-ever dual water and wastewater system, complete with a full Home Water System, a 1,000-gallon septic tank, and a toilet!

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.
South Sudan School 1 (2025)
Our implementing partner, Water for South Sudan's, operations teams are based in Wau and work in remote villages in the Bahr el Ghazal region of South Sudan. These isolated villages have extremely limited access to clean water, and often can only access contaminated water that will lead to sickness or even death. WFSS works with local governments and community leaders to determine the placement of wells. The goal is to create sustainable systems, incorporating well maintenance and training as part of the installation of a well.
