The taps are on. 💧 After more than a year of planning, partnership and hard work, clean water is now flowing in Maya, Wakiso District, Uganda.

This new solar-powered water system will help provide safe water access to more than 200 children living at God's Grace Orphanage, along with teachers, staff and more than 4,000 people in the surrounding community.

Projects like this are never the work of one person or one organization. They are made possible through the collaboration of engineers, hydrogeologists, surveyors, drillers, electricians, plumbers, public health practitioners, community leaders, local residents, donors and partners working together toward a shared goal.

Most importantly, this project was built with the participation and commitment of the local community, whose stewardship will help sustain the system for years to come.

We are deeply grateful to every donor, volunteer, partner and community member who helped make this possible.

This moment represents more than the completion of a water system. It represents healthier families, improved educational opportunities, greater dignity and renewed hope for the future.

Together, we are taking another step toward a world where everyone has access to safe water.

💧 200+ children served at God's Grace Orphanage
💧 4,000+ community members with improved access to safe water
💧 Solar-powered water system designed for long-term sustainability

THE TAPS ARE OFFICIALLY ON! 🎉💧After months of planning and hard work on the ground in Uganda, clean, safe water is finally flowing in the community of Maya, Wakiso, Uganda. In this episode of MISSION: WATER, we return to see the completed water taps in action and hear from the people whose lives will be impacted by it for years to come.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to finish this clean water system and give clean, safe water to thousands more people.

$1 gives water to 1 person and makes a huge impact on their lives.

Welcome to Episode 1 of MISSION: WATER, our new 4-part docuseries following the story of bringing clean water to an orphanage and school in Uganda.

In this episode, we take on site in Maya, Wakiso, Uganda for the countdown to build a sustainable, solar-powered water system for an orphanage of 200+ children and the surrounding village. You'll see the engineering reality of drilling a massive 92-meter deep bore hole, installing a solar pump, and partnering with the local community to make it last for decades. We also chat with Rita, the school’s head teacher, who shares what this project truly means for the future of these kids.

Our team is in Uganda constructing a clean water system at God’s Grace Orphanage and school! Here’s a look at where the students currently get their water — and why their new water system will make such a huge difference.

05/22/2026

Throwback to last year in Kenya, when we walked 1 km with these students to see where they got water. It was journey they took everyday, until we built a new clean water system for them!

Our next water system in Uganda at God's Grace Orphanage will be commissioned and completed next week and we can't wait for you to see it.

Ever wonder what a sustainable clean water system actually involves? 💧For the our next system God’s Grace Orphanage project in Uganda, it is much more than drilling a well!⁠
⁠
Here's what it takes: ⁠
⁠
• A deep borehole to access safer groundwater⁠
• A solar-powered pump to move water without relying on unstable electricity⁠
• Two 5,000-litre storage tanks⁠
• Pipeline distribution to the orphanage, school and community access points⁠
• Water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) training⁠
• A local water management committee to help maintain the system long-term ⁠
⁠
Together, this creates a reliable, sustainable source of clean water for more than 200 children and over 4,000 surrounding community members.⁠
⁠
Clean water systems create lasting impact when infrastructure, training and community ownership work together! ⁠
⁠
👋 Follow along as we share more updates from the ground. The new system at God’s Grace Orphanage project is being commissioned next Friday! ⁠

Why does clean water matter so much? Because water impacts almost every part of daily life.⁠
⁠
Without reliable access to safe water:⁠
• children are more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses⁠
• students miss school due to sickness⁠
• families spend significant time collecting water⁠
• hygiene and sanitation become difficult⁠
• drought periods create severe instability⁠
⁠
At God’s Grace Orphanage in Uganda, One Drop Global is helping build a sustainable clean water system designed to support both the orphanage and the surrounding community.⁠
⁠
Access to clean water helps improve:⁠
💧 Health⁠
📚 Education⁠
🧼 Hygiene⁠
🌱 Community resilience⁠
✨ Human dignity⁠
⁠
Water changes more than thirst, it changes futures. ⁠

Imagine trying to learn, grow, and thrive without access to safe water. At God’s Grace Orphanage in Uganda—a home and school that serves 203 of the community’s most vulnerable children—this is the daily reality. While these children are provided with free education and daily meals, safe water is a constant challenge.

The Urgent Need at the School:

🏥 Rising Health Risks: 1 in 5 child deaths in Uganda is linked to unsafe water, and waterborne illnesses like typhoid are a leading cause of illness for these students.

📉 Interrupted Learning: Frequent illness spreads quickly in orphanage settings, leading to missed school days and disrupting education.

☀️ Climate Pressures: Severe shortages occur during dry spells because the current borehole lacks sufficient depth and output.

👥 Overwhelming Demand: Overcrowding at the existing water point puts a massive strain on the 15 teachers and support staff.

This new clean water system will be a total game-changer, drastically improving daily life by providing a sustainable source for washing, cleaning, eating, and drinking. It will give these children a foundation for health, learning and growth.

Stay tuned for the commissioning of this project happening in just two weeks!
