Butakoola Village Association for Development (BUVAD)
Rural Safe Water Supply Project Kayunga District in Uganda is like many rural areas facing extreme poverty, lacking access to the most basic of resources. One of the most essential is clean water. The widespread use of groundwater sources in Kayunga not only leads to waterborne illness such as malaria and dysentery, it also subjects women and children, who in gathering water are often forced to walk miles from the safety of their villages, to crime and violence. Minga partnered with the Butakoola Village Association for Development (BUVAD) to build borehole water wells in three Kayunga villages, including setting up well-management committees to make sure the wells function well into the future.
