Uganda WASH Appeal
Clean water changes everything.
In rural Uganda, families are still waiting for safe water, proper sanitation, and the dignity that comes with them. Without these basics, children fall sick, miss school, and struggle to thrive.
Through our Uganda WASH Appeal, you can help bring safe water, sanitation, and hygiene to communities most in need — transforming health, restoring dignity, and giving families a chance at a better future.
Every gift supports long-term, sustainable solutions, led by local communities and trusted partners. Together, we can help families move beyond survival and into lasting wellbeing.
Sarita Mitzar
Before the WASH program, we had to go to a nearby water well to drink clean water, but even that water was not sufficient during the dry season, so we boiled the unsafe water if we had time and drank it. Otherwise, we were forced to drink the same contaminated water.
Kantono Ruth
Kantono Ruth, a 103-year-old blind woman, and her daughter, Nabwire Beatrice, experienced an improved quality of life after receiving a 500-liter water tank in Kikwanya. The tank provides easy access to clean water, eliminating the need for arduous journeys and enhancing their health, hygiene, and daily independence.
Sreyleak
Sreyleak, a 12-year-old from Preah Vihea, was repeatedly abused by her father. In June 2023, she and her mother filed a complaint. Her father was arrested and sentenced to 7 years in prison. Sreyleak now receives therapy, improving her physical and mental health, and continues attending school.
Tessie
Tessie, grieving and with her 7-year-old gravely ill, found solace in faith and joined the Fiji Moms Project. Despite a long wait, a spot opened for her, bringing hope. Your support has empowered Tessie to heal and learn new skills.
Sanumaya Rokka
“I am confident that I can start a business with the skill and knowledge I gained in Lydia advance training. My challenge will be start-up fund, but I will upgrade my home based work and will start a business in near future and be economically strong and independent..”
Maisha
Maisha’s family struggled in Dhaka’s slums. Forced to leave school to support her family, she now dreams of becoming a nurse. COVID-19 worsened their situation, but thanks to your support, Maisha could attend classes at the Drop-In centre and work toward a brighter future for herself and her community.
Beatrice
When Beatrice joined Ark Quest at age 5, she walked 3 km daily to school. Abandoned by her mother and raised by her elderly grandmother, they struggled with basic needs and school fees. Despite these hardships, Beatrice thrived at Ark Quest Education Centre, where she received the support she needed.
Sneha
Sneha, a 12-year-old who lost her father, almost lost her life due to traditional beliefs over modern medicine. After her mother attended a health meeting by Allahabad Vocational Training Centre, she sought proper treatment for Sneha’s mumps. Sneha recovered, and her mother now regularly attends our meetings, grateful for the timely advice.
Sarita
Arriving at Sano Diyo at age 3, she was in pain and sadness. After graduating high school in 2021 and completing nursing school in March 2024, she’s now a full-time nurse. On May 31, 2024, she married Manoj Kumar, starting a joyful, faith-filled new chapter.
Nusa
Nusa, once silent and isolated, blossomed at the Flame centre. Over the past year, she made friends, engaged in activities, and rode her bike to school. Her grandmother was overjoyed, noting Nusa’s transformation at home and in the community, thanks to Flame’s support and belief in her.
