so, the need for clean water is still a huge issue in northern Uganda. you
still find many people who must travel quite a distance to find a bore hole (well with a hand pump) that provides clean water. some people have a natural water source, but those are always contaminated. that means, it must be boiled to drink, and it is not sanitary for washing and bathing. so, to have a bore hole nearby makes a huge impact on the quality of people’s lives. it helps to reduce disease and generally keeps people healthy. it also means that people do not need to spend so much time simply going through the laborious task of hauling water.
thanks to the giving of a number of people, both individual donors from the u.s. and from the 
charitable organization, Anazao, in the u.k., we were able to provide clean water for another one of our groups. groups 2 and 3 received wells in 2010. group 1 has a water source that is a bit far, but at least more accessible than group 4. group 4, in anaka, was only having a natural water source that was a bit far. and, it dries up during the dry season, which means they must go even further to find and bring back water.
I cannot stress enough the impact of a bore hole in a village. it is truly life-changing for all in the community. all of the people are very excited and thankful for this tremendous gift. thanks so much to all who gave and have
supported this. thanks for letting your donation be used for this type of thing, and please know that it will have a lasting impact for hundreds of people. may god fully bless you!
