Objective: To build 2 shallow wells with Afrodev Water pumps
Background: The Bukalama Youth Group has successfully implemented other projects, specifically raising awareness against HIV/AIDS stigma. The Child Health Foundation, which funded them for a tree planting project was contacted and gave very positive reference.
Use of Funds: The funds will be used to build two shallow wells and equip them with two Afridev Water pumps. The wells will be located in the school premises and will be managed by Nasewa school management committee. They will be available to the community as a whole when the school is closed. A Nasira water users committee will also be put in place. They will create a water users fund in order to face maintenance and repair costs. Hygiene and sanitation training will also be performed (not covered by these funds).
