5 Reasons Lifewater is Expanding to Uganda
- There is Great Need. Nearly half of the population live without access to clean water. Three quarters of the country doesn’t have a safe place to go to the bathroom.
- Underserved Communities. Villages in hard-to-reach places have received little to no help from the government and other NGOs.
- Regional Expertise. UgandaCleanWater Mission is working towards bring clean potable water to poor districts.
- Millions of mothers and their children drink from ponds and swamps.
- Jesus Calls Us to Serve. God answers the prayer of the poor for water (Isaiah 41:17). Together, we can be His hands and feet to the people of Uganda.
The Global Water Crisis
Clean drinking water and basic sanitation are critical to life. Without them, families walk miles for water that makes them sick, spend their income on medication, and struggle to send their children to school. The global water crisis impacts 771 million people—1 in 10 people—on the planet today. Plus, 1 in 4 lack access to a toilet, a critical element to overall health. The good news: This is entirely preventable. We can end the crisis in our lifetime.
