A water crisis! The drought was almost finishing us! The wells dried up and are facing a water crisis at the Hope Schools and surrounding village communities. This well also serves the local community and all the water was gone.
We are trying to excavate to make wider and deeper so it can retain more water to last a little longer during the dry season. THANK YOU friends who have made this work possible; we appreciate the gift of water = life!
We have an underground well but can’t up with the water demand for over 950 children in addition to teachers and staff. This surface well provides a backup system for water used for laundry, showers, and cleaning. Now that schools are open for the third trimester, we have to buy water until there is enough rain to fill up this well and pump it up to the school again.
In some regions of Uganda, crops such as coffee and banana plantations have been severely affected. Even wildlife in danger as the grass in some national parks has dried.
The rain season has started but still slow. Please keep us in your prayers.
