Water Well for Agwata Village

I have emailed with Carol Davis, the founder of Outreach Uganda and let her know about my summer project raising funds for the beader groups. She is so happy and grateful for all of your support! Here is what she said about the current project they are raising money for.

Agwata village

"We are currently raising funds to be able to drill a bore hole (water well) at the Agwata parent supported school where our 3rd beader group is located.  The total cost is estimated to be $8,500 and so far we have raised about $1,000 towards this. Our Agwata and Kitgum bead groups have made some special necklaces and bracelets which we are calling “Watercolor” necklaces and bracelets to tie in with the idea of “water” which is badly needed at our school location.  So…we are trying to raise both outright contributions for this project plus selling these special items and ear marking monies from the sales to go towards the bore hole. There are now 300 children at this school ranging in age from 4 year olds (Nursery class) to P-5 which is similar to our 4th grade in the U.S."

Did you know that nearly a billion people do not have access to clean and safe water. 37% of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
