• Monthly Donors: 1

• Campaign Phase: Phase 2 Fundraising — Completing Remaining Wells

Dear GlobalGiving Community,

Thank you for standing with American Aid (A A Relief) as we work to bring clean, safe water to 11,000 underserved people in Eastern Uganda’s Butebo, Bukedea, and Kumi districts. This project exists because families are still relying on contaminated rivers and open ponds—putting children, mothers, schools, and health centers at daily risk. Clean water is not a luxury here; it is the foundation of health, dignity, and survival.

Today, we are at a critical point in our journey. We have made real progress, and we are deeply grateful—but we urgently need additional support to continue and complete the remaining wells so no community is left behind.

Progress Update (This Quarter)

This quarter, our focus has been on sustaining momentum and preparing for the next phase of construction as funding continues. Key progress and readiness actions included:

• Continuing coordination with local partners across Butebo, Bukedea, and Kumi to confirm priority locations and ensure community-led implementation.
• Maintaining our proven construction standard—concrete lining, modern hand pumps, proper drainage, and protective covers—to ensure long-term durability and safe access.
• Strengthening our community ownership approach through planning for maintenance and hygiene training, so each well remains functional for generations.

This project is designed for sustainability, not short-term relief. Every well is built to last—and every community is prepared to protect it.

The Ongoing Need (Why This Cannot Pause)

The clean water crisis remains severe across these districts:

• Families still collect water from unsafe sources, increasing exposure to waterborne disease.
• Schools and hospitals operate without reliable water, weakening education outcomes and healthcare safety.
• The daily burden of water collection steals time from learning, caregiving, and earning a living—especially for women and children.

When clean water is available, everything changes: health improves, children attend school consistently, and communities gain stability.

What Your Donation Will Complete (Phase 2)

With the remaining $24,990, American Aid (A A Relief) will continue constructing the remaining sustainable wells to complete the full vision of this project. Your support will help deliver:

• Additional wells serving 500 people daily per well with clean, safe water
• Safe access for schools, clinics, and villages that currently lack reliable water
• Community training for maintenance and hygiene to ensure long-term function
• Transparent documentation and reporting so donors can see the impact clearly

Our Commitment Moving Forward

As we push toward completion, we remain committed to:

• Quality construction using proven, sustainable methods
• Community engagement and ownership through local partnerships and training
• Transparent reporting with photos, documentation, and measurable impact updates
• Long-term sustainability so these wells serve families for generations

A Direct Appeal: Help Us Finish What We Started

We are asking, sincerely and urgently: please help us bring this project to completion. We are close enough that every additional gift creates immediate momentum—but without new donations, construction slows and communities remain trapped in unsafe water access.

Your generosity builds hope one well at a time. And with your support today, we can finish the remaining wells and fulfill our promise to 11,000 people.

With gratitude,

Celebrating a Historic Milestone: 5 Wells Completed!

We are overjoyed to announce that five sustainable water wells have been successfully completed across Eastern Uganda’s Butebo, Bukedea, and Kumi districts! This transformative achievement marks the halfway point of our ambitious clean water initiative, and we celebrate this milestone with immense gratitude.

Villages Transformed

The following five villages now have permanent access to clean, safe water:

1. DoDoi
2. Doko
3. Kinyolib
4. Kituba
5. Tingoli

Each well stands as a beacon of hope, constructed with durable concrete lining, modern hand pumps, proper drainage systems, and protective covers to ensure long-term sustainability.

Impact: 6,725 Lives Changed Forever

6,725 people across these five villages now wake up each day with access to clean water at their doorstep. No more long walks to contaminated rivers. No more waterborne diseases threatening children and families. No more schools and health centers struggling without safe water.

The Joy of Clean Water

The celebration in each village has been extraordinary. Community members gathered at each well inauguration, expressing overwhelming gratitude and joy. Children no longer miss school due to water-related illnesses. Mothers spend less time fetching water and more time with their families. Local health centers report dramatic decreases in waterborne diseases.

Village leaders and residents share a common sentiment:

“This water well has given us life. Our children are healthier, our community is stronger, and our future is brighter.”

A Special Thank You to Our Hero Donor

This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of our single donor, who believed in this vision. Your $25,000 contribution has literally transformed five entire communities. You have:

• Provided 6,725 people with daily access to clean water
• Enabled children to attend school healthy and ready to learn
• Empowered health centers to operate safely and effectively
• Given families dignity, health, and hope for generations to come

You are the reason 6,725 people celebrate clean water today. Your compassion has created ripples of impact that will be felt for decades. Every child who drinks clean water, every family that stays healthy, every community that thrives—they all owe this transformation to your incredible generosity.

Looking Forward: 5 More Wells to Go

While we celebrate this tremendous achievement, our mission continues. Five more villages await their life-changing wells. With the remaining $25,000 needed, we can complete the full vision and bring clean water to an additional 4,275 people.

The next five wells will:

• Serve the remaining target communities in Butebo, Bukedea, and Kumi districts
• Complete our goal of reaching 11,000 people total
• Create a comprehensive network of sustainable water access across the region

Ensure no community is left behind.

Our Commitment Moving Forward

As we enter the next phase, we remain committed to:

• Quality construction using proven sustainable methods
• Community engagement through local partnerships and training
• Transparent reporting with detailed documentation
• Long-term sustainability through maintenance training and community ownership

The success of these first five wells demonstrates our capacity to deliver transformative impact. We are energized and ready to complete the remaining five wells and fulfill our promise to 11,000 people.
