Let us take a look at Uganda in East Africa, it is described as the Pearl of Africa because of it's beauty but and in my mind part of this beauty is the numerous Rivers, Lakes and Springs that run through it.
However not all of this water is clean nor it is suitable to domestic use, amongst other things it harbors mosquitoes larvae, Bilharzia etc, making it dangerous to children, old people and those with compromised immune systems.
It is for that reason that a few Friends and I have got together to get clean water into a Ruhanga a village in SW Uganda. In order to achieve this we need £6000. We have a fundraising event for this purpose and hope that you can support us. Further details about the event and the project in Ruhanga are at www.lethemhelpthemselves.com
