Families in Butonda, Kasaala, and Bukandula, Uganda, depend on dirty streams shared with animals for daily water, putting their health at risk. Karitas Relief Mission seeks to drill and equip a borehole to provide safer, reliable water for these communities, reduce waterborne diseases, and improve the health of children and families. The project will ease the burden on women and children who spend hours fetching water and promote better hygiene, dignity, and a healthier future for all.
Families in Butonda, Bukandula, and Kasaala, Uganda, lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Residents depend on dirty streams shared with animals, exposing them to the risk of waterborne diseases. Women and children spend time collecting water, making daily life more difficult. Karitas Relief Mission seeks to address this problem by establishing three boreholes, one in each village, to improve access to safer water, hygiene, and community health.
Karitas Relief Mission plans to drill and equip three boreholes, one in Butonda, one in Bukandula, and one in Kasaala. We will work with qualified contractors to identify suitable sites, drill the boreholes, install pumps, and test water quality. Community members will be encouraged to protect and maintain the water points. The project aims to provide safer water, reduce dependence on streams shared with animals, improve hygiene, and ease the burden of water collection for families.
The three boreholes will provide safer and more reliable water to 1,567 people in Butonda, Bukandula, and Kasaala. They will reduce dependence on dirty streams shared with animals, lower the risk of waterborne diseases, and improve hygiene. Women and children will spend less time collecting water, allowing more time for education, farming, and household activities. With proper maintenance, the boreholes will provide lasting benefits by improving community health, dignity, and well-being for year
