The Uganda Vision

23.02.2016

Eighty five percent of Ugandan’s are living in disadvantaged rural areas with hunger and food insecurity posing a major problem. Further statistics show that:

- 82% of the population’s sanitation facilities in Uganda have no hand-washing facilities – only 8% have water and soap;
- Urban households travel 200 metres to the main source of water compared to 800 metres in rural areas;
- Only 15% of people have access to water on tap, despite improvements.

 

The Uganda Vision 2040 promises universal access to water and sanitation – all Ugandans will have access to safe piped water and a modern toilet facility. So how is Uganda meeting the challenges of water needs for the majority of its population?
