Description
Imagine being able to change the lives of 1,000 people….forever! With each the Legacy Well Project - we can. For over a decade, Call to Care Uganda has been doing just that by drilling and installing freshwater wells in schools and villages in Uganda improving health, educational opportunity, economic growth and saving lives. To date, we have drilled 75 deep borehole wells and have made water accessible to over 66,000 people. By 2030, as an organization we are making a water action commitment to drill 100 more wells that will address water scarcity by providing water to 100,000 more people.
This new and additional action will accelerate SDG 6 by providing water access to approximately100,000 people in Uganda.
