Jovi, headteacher of Kyambogo Buruli Primary School in rural Uganda, has spent years leading her students through challenges many people rarely have to think about. In her community, access to water is not as simple as turning on a faucet. For years, students and teachers often depended on unsafe or unreliable water sources, and valuable school time was lost just trying to collect water for drinking, cooking, and handwashing.
Over time, Hydromissions partnered with the school to bring lasting change. First came a rainwater catchment system, helping the school collect water during the rainy seasons. Later, a water filter improved the safety of the water students were drinking. Finally, after years of waiting, prayer, and fundraising, a borehole well was installed on the school grounds in partnership with “The Feed African Children fund” (who supplies feeding programs to some of the schools where we provide water systems).
What may sound like a simple construction project can transform an entire community. The borehole well means children can spend more time learning instead of walking long distances to fetch water. It means fewer illnesses caused by contaminated water. It means teachers can focus on education instead of daily survival needs. It also brings dignity, stability, and hope to families who have lived without reliable access to clean water.
Today, the borehole well provides the school with the clean water it needs every day, giving hundreds of students at Kyambogo Buruli Primary School the opportunity for healthier lives, better education, and a stronger future.
