Dear Don, Prasad, Christopher, and Microsoft,

Thank you for providing Bito Acen, and nine others like him access to water.

Here’s Bito’s story in his own words- “My parents use to beat me because I would delay at the former source. But now I take not more than 10 minutes (to fill up water) at the new source, because I just have to pump direct from the pipe  into my jerrycan.”

Life is hard for people, like Bito Acen, living in rural Uganda. Thank you for coming together to remove one hardship.

Samuel goes to school on time now!

Impact_Story_42
Dear Ashleigh, Mary, Evan, Tanu, and Susan and James,

During the dry season, water sources in Samuel’s village in Ogur county in the Lira district of Uganda, would all dry up.  People in the community would wake up at 5:00am and go 10 kilometers over to the next village in order to collect water from their borehole.  “We would reach school very late,” he said.  “Ever since this borehole was drilled by Divine Water, I have never gone to school late.”

Samuel wants to thank you for donating towards his village’s borehole!  He is extremely grateful for your contributions!

Residents in Munu Village now have clean water!

Impact_Story_43
Dear Brandon, Christianne, Amit, and Elizabeth,

Otwal Denis lives in Munu Village, in Uganda’s Lira District.  He remembers that very recently his village suffered from a contaminated water source.  “We have been sharing our former water source with animals,” he says, “Whenever it rains, the water would be dirty and white like milk.”

A lack of clean water can result in infections and disease, and can lead an entire community to struggle.  This gift of a well will improve living conditions for the entire village, allowing them to drink, wash, and go about their daily lives without concern for their health due to dirty water.  “I thank those who gave their money for drilling our new water source,” Denis says. “The contribution you made has changed our life.”

Dear Christopher,

Daniel lives in Okano Idero village in Agweng county, northern Uganda. He thanks God for bringing him and his village a source of clean water. He says that they have been drinking water from unprotected sources, and as a result, people have been suffering from water borne disease. Daniel himself missed school for two weeks in a row because he got sick from drinking dirty water.

The water well that you have provided Daniel and his family is a huge blessing. They can now improve their lives in every way since they can rely on clean water and stay much stronger and healthier.

Thank you!

Dear Peter and Kim, Kandace, Elizabeth, Matt & Alison, Tim and Sherie, Kim, and Ron,

Clean water is extremely valuable, especially to communities like Aloka’s village in northern Uganda where people suffer from a lack of a reliable source.
