Acts for Water Acts for Water builds sustainable water systems & empowers healthy communities for a thriving Uganda

We believe giving a child clean, accessible water is the best way to help them transform their future. We’re focussed on being the best at just that, but we need your help to do even more. For over 30 years, passionate people like you have been partnering with Acts for Water to provide clean, accessible water delivered right in front of the homes of children in rural Uganda. It has changed everything for these communities and now we need you to join us so that together we can do even more.

Every morning, this is the walk.

Cattle, goats, and a herder — all headed to the same water source families use to drink, cook, and wash.

Where there’s no protected spring or tapstand, the water hole doesn’t belong to people.

It belongs to whoever gets there first.

That’s how a shared water source becomes a shared illness — diarrhea, typhoid, parasites — passed from animal to human, one dip of the jerrycan at a time.

Clean water changes that.

It means a family’s drinking water never has to come from the same puddle the herd just stood in.💙

Every kitchen garden starts the same way: someone breaking ground, one hoe stroke at a time.

Across Bwesumbu, Kasese District, that work is multiplying. Trained growers are teaching neighbours, and gardens once planted from starter seeds are now feeding families and producing enough to sell.

Small plots. Real choice over what’s on the plate. A model that spreads household to household.

Open Defecation Free status doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s the outcome of a Community-Led Total Sanitation process that puts ownership in the hands of the people who live there.

Congratulations to Kabatunda Town Council and Bwesumbu Sub-county, Kasese District, on reaching ODF status — the result of Village Health Teams, Local Council leadership, and community members working alongside our Acts Uganda team over the long haul.

This is what sustainable WASH programming looks like: not a one-time build, but a shift in practice that a community carries forward on its own.

30 years.

That’s how long clean water has flowed in Bujaga, Rwampara District — ever since a tapstand was installed through the generosity of faithful donors.

For Edrida, 74, it meant an end to the early morning walks in the dark. The uncertainty. The fear of not making it home in time.

Three decades later, her grandchildren have never known life without it.

This is what long-term investment in water looks like.

“What you see is what they really are.”

That’s what Diana says about Acts for Water, after nearly seven years as a monthly donor.

She didn’t need to see the impact firsthand to believe in it. But when she finally did, at 79, it confirmed everything.

“You read the newsletters and you think you understand,” she says. “But you don’t. Not until you’re standing there.”

You don’t have to get on a plane to be part of this.

Become a monthly donor and be part of the story, one gift at a time.

Nearly there.

Kasese Phase II is in its final stages — and once commissioned this September, it will bring safe water and WASH benefits to 20,000 more people, taking our combined Phase I and II impact to 38,000 people served.

None of this happens without the trained community members who will carry this system forward long after the ribbon is cut.

Proud to partner with Kasese District Local Government on this work.
