Clean drinking water cannot be taken for granted – and yet it is one of the most important foundations for the health, learning and everyday life of our children.
Thanks to the support of generous donors, we have been able to install a new water filter on our campus. From now on, children, staff and visitors have enough clean, filtered drinking water available at all times. This not only improves hygiene conditions but also helps to prevent water-borne diseases and protect everyone’s health in the long term.
How it used to be
Until now, we had to boil the drinking water over an open fire every day. This process was time-consuming, required large amounts of firewood and made it difficult to provide enough clean water at all times. Often only a limited amount was available, which first had to be boiled and then cooled down again.
What has changed
With the new water filter system, our everyday life has changed noticeably. Clean drinking water is now available at all times – quickly, reliably and without using large amounts of wood. This saves valuable time, conserves resources and enables us to supply all children and staff with safe drinking water continuously.
Especially given the high temperatures in Uganda, the growth of our campus and the rising number of children, this step is of great importance. What looks like a small change at first glance has an enormous impact on health, hygiene and quality of life in everyday life.
Thank you for your support
We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who makes sustainable investments like this possible. It is often precisely these improvements behind the scenes that change our children’s everyday lives in the long term and give them a healthy environment in which to learn and grow up.
