Help Communities in Tororo Provide
WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE (WASH) SKILLS
This project provides communities with clean water and improves sanitation and health by providing
10 new boreholes for community health facilities
10 rainwater harvesting tanks
10 school sanitation facilities
The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) skills needed—such as hand washing and hygiene training—will support Maternal and Newborn Children at the health facilities.
A needs assessment was done in 2017. Affected communities indicated that a lack of clean water and access to basic sanitation is their main problem.
The funding goal is $167,780.
The Global Grant application has been written in partnership with the Ugandan Rotary team. We need help from clubs and districts that would like to participate in a Global WASH Grant that memorializes Rotary International President Elect, Samuel Owori (Deceased).
Uganda Rotary Water Plus (URWP), a coordinating team of Rotary WASH professionals and facilitators plan to repeat the success of two similar water and sanitation projects completed in northern Uganda.
This project will encourage the targeted communities to raise local funds for the new boreholes and
sanitation projects. Water-User Committees will be established to ensure sustainability.

We are discussing with the Centenary bank in Uganda, to allow Water User Committees to hold all funds in their bank, using “free Water accounts”. The communities will be empowered to take the lead in solving their own problems.
