A reason to celebrate
The reopening of the borehole was a moment of celebration for the entire community. After struggling with unsafe water, families now have access to a restored water source.
Clean water, closer to home in Uganda
For families in Kalangala Village, Uganda, access to safe drinking water has long been a challenge. Thanks to ZOA's HOPE Project, a rehabilitated borehole is now bringing clean water closer to their homes.

"We are very grateful to ZOA. This borehole has brought clean water closer to our homes and will greatly improve our lives"
Working together for lasting change
The community played an important role in restoring the water source. The Community Vision Committee mobilised residents to clear and fence the borehole site. Six community members also secured land tenancy agreements. As one resident explains: "Today we celebrate not only clean water but also what we can achieve when we work together."
Through the HOPE Project, funded by Pharus, ZOA combines access to clean water with support for livelihoods and land rights. By bringing these activities together, ZOA works with communities towards sustainable solutions.
