Every.one needs clean water

BTG4WATER has been been working in the Abulu Village in Uganda.  The villagers have been working for almost a year to have a Healthy Community so that they will be ready to have a borehole drilled in their village. The below photos show you some of the steps to developing a healthy village.  All the work is done by the villagers with guidance of local leaders.

Meet Mark, who lives with his mother and family.  His father has passed away.  Mark appreciates the introduction to the steps in developing a healthy village.  He is progressing in having his bathroom shelter complete. He is doing it himself with the available local materials.

Francis, an overseer of the village, is showing a villager the importance of drainage.

The young boy is using a completed drying rack to wash and dry the dishes.  Dishes used to be washed and dried on the ground instead of the rack.

A garbage pit is built for each family unit to help keep the village clean and sanitary.

This woman has been taught that animals need to be enclosed when they are brought in from the fields, so that they don’t roam around outside or in her home.

When anyone of any age walks out of a bathroom shelter they wash their hands at their hand built tippy tap.
