Uganda WASH water delivery system

Many In Uganda’s Ibanda District Parish of Irimya people in some remote villages have had to walk over 3 km to fetch water from contaminated sources demanding time and energy away from any school or daily routines. Once they have brought home the water, the people in the Parish have suffered an extremely high rate of waterborne disease. A Gravity Flow System (GFS) of clean water flowing down in pipes from nearby hills to the 6,843 residents of seven villages in the valley below has had a positive impact on the villagers thanks to Rotary Club of Mbarara, Uganda, and Rotary Clubs of Tsawwassen, Vancouver, Richmond Sunrise, and a District 5040 Global Grant.
