Ongai Primary School
Project Complete!
Ongai Primary School, located in Okura Village, Nwoya District, Uganda, currently has 577 students (265 girls & 312 boys). The school has had a severe lack of safe water for many years. The nearest working well is over a mile away and many children miss school because they are thirsty. The head teacher realized there was a problem, so he worked with the local community to raise money and get a nearby well rehabbed/repaired.
However, to get to the well the children have to walk across a busy road and because there was not much around, many of the vehicles drive very fast. Students often have to run out of the way of speeding cars and recently a girl was hit by a vehicle and killed. The head teacher was so upset that he went to the district water office and asked for help. They contacted our implementing partner and asked if they could drill a well on the school grounds.
Project Proposal: New Borehole Well
Our implementing partner, Drop in the Bucket, will drill a well that will provide safe water on the school grounds.

H2O for Life is not a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) project implementer. We have partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing WASH in Schools projects around the world. Our NGO partners match funds needed for each school project. We also have a generous donor that provides us with an interest-free loan that, along with matching funds, allows for many projects to be started or possibly even completed before total funds have been raised. In rare situations we reserve the right to reallocate funds to alternate project(s).
