Water & Sanitation

Water Resourcing and Sanitation Practices is another CPAR project our study tour visited.
Construction of:
•shallow wells and
•deep bore hole wells as well as
•latrine construction
promote sanitation and hygiene education opportunities. The shallow wells can be easily contaminated by what ever is around it. So after building the well CPAR trains volunteers who will train others on how to keep their water source secure and safe from contamination.
Look at this bike! (below)
It’s a one size fits all when it comes to bikes in Uganda.
Each one of these yellow water containers (all water containers were yellow) can hold 10 Litres.

This guy has 30 litres loaded on a bike that’s far too big for him.
We needed a 4x4 to get us to this well.
I wonder how far he has to peddle.

I am intrigued by your efforts concerning water sanitation! I like to hear personal and in-depth accounts of the problems being faced in Uganda. I encourage you to check out my blog at www.tcantalk.blogspot.com

The blog is based on Trinity Community Aid Network, Inc., a non-profit organization working towards promoting the love of Jesus, working towards putting children/teens/adults through school, and aiding in sanitation through medical missions. Their current mission just returned this past weekend, and my next step is to include their experiences to the blog!

Thanks for what you are sharing with us!
