UGANDA CLEAN WATER PROJECT

Over the past few months the Dugdale Charitable Trust has built a number of new school buildings for the David Tyler Nursery and Primary School in Uganda.

This school will initially cater for around 300 children, including a number of orphans who would not otherwise be able to receive an education.

There is an urgent need to provide clean safe drinking water with either a water bore or water storage tanks.

The photo shows a village home and the typical yellow jerry can that is used for collecting and storing water.

Please click on the photo and watch the video to see how the children currently collect water from a contaminated and unsafe water hole. It is 1.5km distance from the school and they either have to carry the cans or tie them onto the back of an old bike. Below is another short video of the school that the Dugdale Charitabele Trust funded and arranged to be built.

In New Zealand, we take for granted that we have 24 hour access to clean water for drinking, washing and showers. In Uganda, drinking unsafe water is one of the leading causes of death and disease.

We can make a difference.

Would you be willing to help us raise the $15,000 needed for this life changing project.
