While cleaning near the current well drilled by Divine Waters Uganda, Eunice who is twenty two years old, said she didn’t want to see any grass or anything near the water source because she suffered a lot from drinking dirty water for many years and that her children have suffered from different diseases due to the contaminated water. Eunice went on to say that the current water source drilled by Divine Waters Uganda is so much cleaner and safer for drinking than the former source.

Eunice also noted that she looks and feels a lot better now and is very thankful to have clean drinking water. It is such a rarity to have this source of fresh water that people from nearby villages are walking long distances to bring it back to their families. Thank you Grant for providing such an vital source of life to Eunice and those in her village.

45 year old Pilda of Bung Village in Northern Uganda, spoke to Divine Waters Uganda while cleaning up around the new well drilled thanks to your kind support.

Before this well was drilled, Pilda was using an unprotected water source which was very dirty. She and her family suffered from stomach pain and sickness. The new water source drilled in their village has had a huge impact on their community, freeing up time that they once spent walking long distances to collect water.

Thanks Garyd, Sam, Jonas, Akiko and John for your generous support of a water source for Pilda and her family.

While digging holes for fencing around the well drilled by Divine Waters Uganda, Tom said that the former water source he was using was very dirty and contained a lot of germs. He and his children were suffering from water borne diseases because they were sharing the water source with animals.

Tom continued by saying that the current source makes it much easier for them to collect water, freeing people up to do other chores. The well water is safe for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing.

In this picture, you can see Tom digging holes for a fence around the well. This keeps animals away from the well and makes it easier to keep the source clean and safe. Thank you all for your support!

Mary is 30 years old and a resident of Aloborom, Uganda. While pumping water from the well drilled in their village, said that she is happy with Divine Waters Uganda for giving them this life saving water source. Mary says that water that they previously drank was unprotected and unsafe, and that her village was sharing from the same contaminated spring as the neighboring village.

Mary also noted that she looks and feels so much better now that she has clean water to drink. It is such a rarity to have this source of fresh water that people from nearby villages are walking long distances to bring it back to their families. Thank you Shannon for providing such an vital source of life for Mary and those in her village.

Joan is 45 years old and lives in a small village in Northern Uganda. Before a well was drilled in her village, she and her family collected unprotected spring water. Whenever it would rain the color of the water would turn to a milky white, and they would find rubbish in it. As a result, she and her family were frequently sick.

The well which your donation supported and that was drilled by Divine Waters Uganda has greatly improved her life. She no longer has to travel a long distance for unhealthy water, and she also has water to spare for things like cleaning and doing dishes.

She looks forward to building a new life with the opportunities now provided to her! Thank you all for your combined support of Joan and her family.

Speaking to Divine Waters Uganda staff in the village of Aloborom in Northern Uganda, 20 year old Kavin said that she used to hear people talking a lot about Divine Waters Uganda and how they were helping provide clean water in nearby communities.

Meanwhile, her community continued to drink dirty water that was white in color and often full of sand. With no other option, Kavin and her family collected this water anyway.

Thank to your combined generosity, Divine Waters Uganda was able to provide a well for this community. Families are now able to wash clothes and bathe whenever they like, and are no longer suffering from water related diseases.

Evaline is 22 years old and lives with her family in the village of Bung in northern Uganda. Evaline reports that there has never been a well in her village before, which means she used to have to travel a long distance to collect water.

Evaline also expressed her happiness by thanking Divine Waters Uganda and you for giving them the first source of water in their village. She concluded by saying that she was now happy that she is drinking safe and clean water.

Susan is 26 years old and lives with her family in the village of Te-Akang in northern Uganda. Susan reports that the former source she had to use was an unprotected spring. The water was very dirty and having to share it with animals meant the water was contaminated with a lot of germs. Her children often suffered from water born diseases.

Susan is very happy with the well that you have helped provide. The water she uses is now safe for drinking, cooking and bathing. Thank you for your combined support!

Christine is 29 years old, and lives with her family in the village of Aloborom, in Northern Uganda. In this picture, she is filling up a bucketful of water at the new water source drilled by Divine Waters Uganda. Christine reports that this source is helping them mostly for drinking and washing clothes. It’s also good for cooking food.

She also added that the former water created a lot of problems, as it caused sicknesses like typhoid and stomach pain. Because of the new well you helped provide, children no longer suffer from stomach pain and the water flows fast, saving them time!

While carrying a yellow jerrican as James looks on, Betty said that it is hard for her think back to the former water source she and her family used to share with animals. The water had a strange color, and when it rained hard, the source would get so dirty that it was very unsafe to drink from.

Thanks to your generous donation Betty and her family now has a well in her village and access to clean water. She has seen a big difference in her children, who are now much healthier, and no longer have to spend time traveling for water.

Thank you for providing clean water for Betty and nine other others in the village of Te-Akang in northern Uganda!
