WaterPlus: transforming Communities with water

The Odenaansan Uganda team is to travel to the community (Agereger village) to launch the Water Plus project.

Agereger Village is a small community in Uganda, East Africa, here the burden of household responsibilities falls heavily on women and children who must trek over two hours daily to fetch water for domestic use.

WaterPlus project will drill solar-powered water pumps in this village to aid water availability and ease access. Having ease of access to water will spur community development through agriculture thereby improving livelihood and food security.

Odenaansan Uganda seeks support for the team in Uganda to travel to the community where they will meet the village leadership and sign an MoU to kickstart the eagerly anticipated Water-Plus project.

Currently the women walk two hours each day to collect water from swamp wells. This unsafe water is susceptible to waterborne diseases such as typhoid, diarrhea etc. Waterplus will provide a source of clean water by providing tremendous public health benefits in preventing these diseases..
