Water Mission Uganda
Water Mission Uganda (WMU) is a Non-Profit Christian Engineering Ministry working to improve access to sustainable safe water and sanitation solutions. WMU is affiliated to Water Mission, headquartered in Charleston, USA, with a vision to be recognized globally as a Best in Class Christian Engineering Ministry in the area of water and sanitation by 2017. WMU has implemented 91 Safe Water Projects, serving over 300,000 people in Uganda since 2007 in remote villages, rural growth centers, schools, health centers and fishing communities as well as refugee settlements. Our Technology; Water Mission utilizes cutting edge technology in the areas of water treatment, energy, remote monitoring and human interaction in water and sanitation projects across the globe. We carefully evaluate each community’s unique needs before beginning a project. In providing reliable safe and clean water, WMU employs appropriate water treatment solutions based on water quality testing we conduct for every source used. These solutions draw from filtration and disinfection options, including a portable water treatment system referred to as the “Living Water Treatment System™” (LWTS™). The LWTS™ has the capacity to purify contaminated water at a rate up to 40,000 litres per day. In many applications, raw water is pumped through the LWTS™ by solar powered pumps. These pumps can draw water from surface or underground sources, can be powered by solar, AC grid, or generator. Once treated and pumped through to storage, water flows by gravity from the storage tank through delivery pipes to public tap stands or water dispensing units spread out strategically in the locality. In Uganda where solar energy is available and reliable throughout the year, adoption of solar systems translates into long-term cost savings and greater reliability and sustainability for water projects. Our Approach to Sustainable WASH Provision; The first step is identifying and assessing the community WASH needs. This includes assessing project sustainability potential. The benefiting community and the local authorities actively participate in the planning, technical designs and implementation of the project. A community Safe Water Committee (SWC) is elected to ensure community responsibilities are achieved. These responsibilities include community contribution of locally available building materials required for construction, land for facilities, and right-of-way for buried piping and wire. The community’s contributions to the project are a cornerstone of invested responsibility. Solutions by Water Mission save lives, improve education rates, creates and builds local economies.
