WATER PROJECT

C4DMU serves two communities in Uganda currently that is Mukono and kalmuli.

in those communities the population is high and each village is estimated to have 1000 - 2000 people and they are not able to access clean water.

we have a goal of raising 16000 water projects for those two little villages.

Today I am sharing a story of two kids who missed school for the whole term because of drinking contaminated water. Marcy and Joel in the pictures were taken to the clinic after getting to drink dirty water. They had developed skin diseases and were diagnosed with malaria, fever, typhoid, and diarrhea which left them in dangerous conditions.

As the developed countries are enjoying first-class clean water everywhere, many millions of people in developing countries like Uganda are drinking dirty water and almost 2.5 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water in the world. Hence this has resulted in numerous diseases and poor hygiene-related diseases that have caused death.

Uganda is one of the African countries that have a high rate of people going without clean water daily. Out of 46 million people, 38 (83%) of the population stay with no clean safe water and improved sanitation solutions. Over 33 children in Uganda every day meet death because of drinking unsafe water after contracting diarrhea which is among the three killer diseases in children. 

As care 4 destitute ministries Uganda we believe in how clean and accessible water impacts a family’s health, efficiency, education, and economic progress.

That’s why we are pleading with generous donors to support our water project that delivers safe clean water to poor communities in Uganda, for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and agriculture.

 Water is a gift from God, and water is life, so we need you to journey with us through your prayers and donations as we deliver this life-saving gift to the most destitute communities in Uganda.

Your generosity will go a long way toward making the lives of others better, and today you can save a life of a person by donating to the C4DMU water project.
