Katete Kikwayi Project

The village of Katete-Kikwayi in a hilly area in Uganda has a big problem, lack of safe water. The inhabitants, mostly women and children have to go long distances on foot to fetch water. This costs a lot of time and energy and can be quite dangerous.
The Weebale Foundation intends to carry out the project, so that the availability of water will improve for the whole village. A pump in a lower well will provide a tank on a hill with water. Through gravitation the water flows to taps along the road. Right from the beginning the local people have been intensely involved in the project to make sure there is public support. The water system is going to be built by the local people themselves with the support of and under supervision of Weebale. The water is safe and people pay for every jerrycan that is tapped to generate money for maintenance. The money is administered by a representative of the local community.
