One final stop before heading home, and one we’ll never forget.
Today, our team visited a primary school where many children in Beyond Uganda’s programs attend. Until now, students had no clean water source on campus. Children would walk down a steep hill and across a highway to collect water for drinking, washing, and bathing.
Because of the generosity of the kids ministry at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, that story has changed.
Together, they raised enough funds to install a deep water well with an electric pump that fills a 5,000-liter storage tank, bringing reliable, clean water directly to the school. Instead of a traditional hand pump, this system includes child-friendly, gender-sensitive spigots so even the youngest students can safely and easily access water.
Today made this moment even more special as Mt. Zion’s youth pastor, who traveled with our team to Uganda, officially dedicated the well alongside students, staff, and our local team.
Clean water changes everything: health, dignity, education, and hope. And today, we got to witness that impact firsthand!
