Many of the children we support in rural Uganda rely on unsafe water sources. A large number collect their water from local wells which are open water sources that are dug by the local community. This source of water is extremely unsafe, both due to the risk of contamination and dangerous collection methods. Others rely on spring water which although safer than the local well, still poses a risk of waterborne diseases. Children often have to walk long distances to collect their water.

Boreholes are a cleaner and more accessible solution. Edukid works with the local community to construct boreholes within the school grounds, so that children have access to clean and safe water.
