Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

I have decided to take a 3 month sabbatical to volunteer out in Uganda starting on the 1st September 2018. 

I have been working as a Hydrogeologist for nearly 6 years in a water resources team and I would now like to use what I have learnt over the years to help out in a country where many people have no access to basic water and sanitation facilities.

I have booked to volunteer with Africa Sustainable Tourism Care Foundation (ASTCF): http://africasustainabletourism.org/water-sanitation-hygiene-wash-project/

The ASTCF's overall goal of their water and sanitation projects is to ensure that rural communities have access to sustainable safe water sources and to improve the health and socioeconomic wellbeing of communities by reducing the incidence of water and sanitation related diseases through the provision of sustainable safe water, sanitation, and hygiene practices.

I am fund raising to help raise the money needed to cover the construction materials such as cement, sand, gravel stones, water pipes etc for the construction and renovation of boreholes and water wells.

Any money you can spare to help towards this program would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
