Project Description Region: Africa Country: Uganda Location: Nakivale Total Budget: $66,000 Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Water, sanitation and hygiene Project will provide wells, water filters, hand-wash stations, and latrines along with malaria testing, treating and prevention measures in the Nakivale Settlement In Southwest Uganda which includes long-term refugees from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Studies available on line confirm what representatives of the Mbarara club personally observed while doing their needs assessment regarding lack of access to water, inadequate sanitation facilities, and prevalence of preventable diseases. Beneficiaries will be trained to build the latrines, with a few trained to also drill wells, a skill which will prepare them to maintain the wells in future years and earn a livelihood drilling wells in the area. Implementation will take one year, starting in March of 2025. Helene Dudley of the international club and Dr Kumbakumba of the host club will meet regularly by zoom with her Uganda counterpart and the 2 cooperating organizations, P2P and Mystery Gorilla, to trouble-shoot problems as they arise and ensure the project is on schedule. The host country club will disburse grant funds nd the international club will handle the grant reporting.
