WATER
Uganda Clean Water Missions (UCWM) promotes piped water systems throughout the three districts where we are implementing the Everyone Forever model. UCWM is looking to train district staff and water system operators to manage and maintain the infrastructure.
SANITATION
The market-based sanitation approach we take in Uganda means we invest in local businesses to help solve sanitation problems. This includes training and supporting pit emptying technologies and entrepreneurs and helping start treatment plants that turn the collected waste into reusable products, such as fertilizer. Uganda Clean Water Missions (UCWM) also supports local community hygiene and sanitation clubs that promote and finance safe sanitation practices throughout villages.
SCHOOLS AND HYGIENE
Uganda Clean Water Missions (UCWM) looks to help construct better water and sanitation facilities in schools. Student-led hygiene committees promote safe water, sanitation, and hygiene practices such as handwashing and keeping toilet blocks clean. In addition, many schools use ecological toilet blocks that produce compost reused on school gardens or local farms.
