Community leaders being trained in water and sanitation

Despite the fact that the project area, Nakyerongosa receives an average rainfall of 1200mm, rain water harvesting has not been developed. Most of the households have corrugated iron roofs that have potential for water harvesting. Women and children waste a lot of time moving long distances to access safe water from water points even after a heavy down pour. Therefore, provision of a good supply of clean water within the vicinity of the home will make a contribution of immense importance in the lives of household members. The technology that will be used is the water jar and this technology has been successfully tested and used in several households in Central Uganda. We plan to construct rain water jars for a 2000 litres capacity for some households.

The community is willing to mobilize their contribution towards construction of water jars and VIP latrines, although poverty is rampant in the project area. The project in Nakyerongosa is based on a cost sharing mechanism whereby the beneficiaries are required to provide unskilled labour for construction of the water devices and pit latrines, clay bricks, river sand for construction, stones and lake sand. However, some of the households especially the target groups which comprise of the elderly, disabled, female headed and HIV/AIDS affected households are unable to provide the required inputs..

Casting of sanplats which are to be bought by the households to construct long lasting pit latrines is being done. This is due to the fact that black ants eat up the logs which initially are used in construction of most of the community members’ latrine slabs. The sanplats have been of great help to the members who have accessed them. They have prevented damage to the latrines. Sanplats are not affected by anything and are therefore durable and safe too.

Due to the low incomes of the people, most of the households cannot afford to buy the sanplats. Each sanplat costs US $ 29 which is relatively too high for the community to afford. We would like to provide 10 households with a sanplat and 2 HIV/AIDS affected households with water jars. Each water jar costs US $ 250 (see photo above of completed water jar)
