Providing decent toilets and saving lives in Kawempe (Uganda)

Kawempe is a region within Kampala. More than 300,000 people in this area suffered from poor water and sanitation facilities. Beneficiary Christine Namakula said: "There were no appropriate toilet facilities in the communities of Kawempe. Part of the population use to practice open defecation."

In 2013, we initiated a project that aimed to reduce water-borne diseases among residents and especially children under five years old living in the poor areas of Kawempe municipality by providing affordable and sustainable sanitation services.
