WATER PROJECTS BEGIN
The Spilling Hope endeavor’s water projects will begin this month, with the first project estimated to be completed by the end of October!
A total of 13 communities will receive a new well and clean water with proper hygiene education! Water will be hope and a blessing for people in Uganda who do not have access to clean water, the basic necessity of life. Not only will there be an immediate impact, but also economic benefit as water is vital to support economic development in communities living in poverty. Currently, women and children walk MILES everyday to access water, which often times is not even a sanitary source for clean water due to runoff, and livestock tracking through the water source. Children will even miss school and educational opportunities because they are gathering water.
The first project site is in a clinic and school in the community of Kiyindi, located approximately 70 kilometers east of Kampala. More updates and information will be provided online soon. For Spilling Hope email updates, subscribe here.
