Water4All Project

KITEREDDE WATER LIFE PROJECT

Given the present human resource constraints that the sector is facing both at the central and district local government levels, it is recommended that the sector identifies and focuses attention and support to some critical areas that affect the service delivery efficiency. For example Gombe, Kiterede is not surrounded by the lake, people in that area fetch water from trenches, and water in these trenches is not safe which leads to an outbreak of diseases in this area.

Water for Production Data from Gombe Sub County in Wakiso District shows that 83% of the facilities used for Livestock are used for domestic purposes.

The Lack of option of other improved water sources, forces the rural population to use untreated water from the water for production facilities for domestic purposes. In addition, 55% of all facilities in this district are not fully operational due to siltation. These people have high rates of mal-nourishment, low but increasing levels of school attendance (especially low amongst the disabled elderly and girls), high rates of disease (especially Malaria), and numerous other problems linked to severe poverty and an exceptionally low standards of living. In many households, children (especially girls), are kept out of school so that they can perform this and other related chores. In Kiterede, the creation of a water well will put a clean, sustainable source of water in close proximity to approximately 10,000 beneficiaries.

The goal of this project is to put in a borehole well at the Center of Kiterede Village to serve the community, mosques, churches, and schools. There are no sources of water in the vicinity.

Villagers (especially women, girls, children, elders and disabled) must spend hours walking to locations, miles away in order to fetch water for household needs more so when we experience massive droughts.

It's upon this background that Another Hand To Rescue decided to move in to raise support and create awareness about this situation.

Ground water is the main water source in the area. Perennial surface water is only in the form of surface ground traditional water wells and swamps.
