The lives of approximately 2,000 villagers in over 200 Ugandan households have received the basic right to water. No longer do villagers have to trek for miles to obtain water for consumption and washing. No longer do they have to be susceptible to water borne disease. Their lives along with those of future generations have changed with the construction of a water well in their communities. The following are the wells that have been completed and their locations:
Well # 1-Owerai Village in Kaberamaido, 59 households, 531 villagers
Well # 2-Oyama Keolu Village in Kaberamaido, 90 households, 810 villagers
Well #3-Apiri Village in Agwata, 76 households, 684 villagers
"It truly takes a village to raise a well", said Nick Jordan, President of Wells of Life. "Contributions from families, schools and corporations make our work possible. This is a true reflection of how community can make anything possible."
