Projects

We have several locations for potential water projects in the Sembabule district in Uganda.

Kisole Baptist Primary School was completed in 2006. What the children still needed, however, was a clean source of water.

Once we knew we were building a school at Christ the King we knew it was also important to have clean water for the children.

Water is probably the most important element to life (apart from oxygen). We can go without food for a long time but without water the body will be in trouble after a matter of days. What happens in a country where your water supply is of poor standard. If most westerners went to Africa we couldn't even drink the tap water without getting seriously sick.

Walking down the trail to the water hole used by the children at the school and the surrounding village, I considered the walk that the children have to do every single day. And for what? As I looked at their drinking water I thought I wouldn't even bath my dog in that water. Brown, lots of floating insects and some bubbles showed what might lie beneath the surface.

Kiwumu is located around 30km north of Kampala. The building of New Foundation Primary School was completed in July 2007.

Fields of Life Academy (FOLA), is located in the Wakiso district of Uganda. One of our first projects was to extend the school, but we also wanted to build a water pump.

Water is one of the most important elements in life (apart from oxygen). We can go without food for a long time but without water the body will be in trouble after a matter of days. What happens in a country where your water supply is of poor standard. We take it for granted the fact that our water is tested and treated and comes through our taps crystal clear.
