Out of the 6.7 billion people on earth, 2.4 billion lack access to basic sanitation and 663 million lack access to clean water. Every 20 seconds a child dies of a waterborne illness and 443 million school days are lost each year from water related illnesses. You can help fight the water crisis in Uganda!
All the photographs and commercials come to life when you land in Uganda and witness its beautiful natural landscape and experience its rich culture. Volunteers will work alongside our ground partners to assist in bore hole rehabilitation, build rainwater catchment systems, distribute and follow up on sawyer filters and other WaSH related activities. Not only will you get to see the water crisis first hand with women and children carrying water down the dirt road for miles, but you will have an opportunity to walk a mile in there shoes and carry your own jerry can of water too. It's definitely a powerful and unforgettable experience.
