The Kikandwa Project refers to the Rainwater harvesting tanks, the Rotary Club of Mukono Central donated to elderly and disabled members of Kikandwa village, Kasawo Town Council in Mukono district.
The project was initiated to provide access to clean water to the most vulnerable members of the community. The donation of rain water harvesting tanks has a significant positive impact on people beneficiaries by reducing reliance on often polluted water sources and freeing up time previously spent collecting water.
Why we donate rainwater harvesting tanks?
Improved Water Access:
Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rainwater, providing a reliable source of clean water for drinking, sanitation, and other uses, especially in areas with limited access to other water sources.
Reduced Waterborne Illness:
By providing access to cleaner water, these systems can help reduce the incidence of waterborne illnesses.
Empowerment and Time Savings:
Collecting water can be a time-consuming task, often falling to women and children and its a harder tasks for the elderly without supporting family. Rainwater harvesting can significantly reduce the time spent fetching water, allowing for more time for other activities.
Community Development:
Rainwater harvesting can be part of a broader effort to improve community health and well-being, alongside initiatives like sanitation and hygiene education.
Sustainability:
Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable practice that helps conserve water resources and reduce reliance on other water sources.
