Uganda Water Projects
Over 40 percent of Uganda lacks access to safe water. This is entirely preventable.
- More than 20 million people in Uganda cannot get safe drinking water in under a 30-minute roundtrip.
- Preventing illness is challenging, as 77 percent of people have no reliable source of hand washing facilities with soap and water.
- The good news: Diarrheal disease, a leading cause of death for children under five years old, is nearly eliminated by drinking safe water and practicing proper sanitation and hygiene.

Our Work in Uganda
Lifewater constructs custom water access and sanitation solutions in the globe’s hardest to reach communities. This includes places like the Mayuge region in Uganda in great need of safe water.
First, local staff who know the cultures and language help communities adopt life-saving sanitation and hygiene practices. They love like Jesus by bringing health to their neighbors. Then, communities receive a safe water source built to last for generations, and donors receive an update with a photo of their impact.
