Скачать или смотреть Transforming Lives: How Solar Power Ended a Water Crisis in Kyankwanzi

In the village of Bulaza, Kigando Parish, a long-standing water crisis has been transformed by a solar-powered water system. This video showcases the impact of this innovative project, funded by UK Export Finance and the Ministry of Water and Environment.
For years, residents, especially women and children, endured hours of walking to find unsafe water sources shared with livestock. The lack of clean water affected schools and places of worship, leading to waterborne diseases and financial burdens.
Father Leonard Katsigazi, a local leader, shares his gratitude for the project, describing it as life-changing. He highlights the improved health of pupils and the community, with a significant reduction in waterborne illnesses.
The reliable water supply has also boosted local businesses and agriculture, with residents using water for washing bays, small businesses, and irrigation. The project has ended decades of water scarcity and dangerous water collection practices, improving the lives and livelihoods of the community.
