“The mud that settled in our jerricans… we knew it was settling in our stomachs too.” For years, Auno Kevin and her family in Aleng C village had no choice but to drink from a hand-dug waterhole that filled with mud every time it rained. They even fetched water at night, hoping it would be clearer. Now, thanks to a new borehole, their water is clean, safe, and always available. (fb)

Pudyek Cell’s Water Struggle In Pudyek Cell, a bustling community just outside Gulu City, finding clean water was an everyday struggle. Families had no choice but to rely on a stagnant hand-dug waterhole, sharing it with livestock. There was one borehole well in the area, but it sat on private land. Desperate for safe water, people began “borrowing” from the well, but this led to tensions, clashes, and even conflict with the landowners. Imagine having to sneak onto someone’s property at night just to fill a container of water. Imagine being turned away. This was the reality in Pudyek Cell. But something was about to change… Stay tuned to see what happened next. #CleanWaterForAll #WaterCrisis #UgandaWaterWell (fb)
