About the Project
As part of their mission to share God's love in practical ways, the Anglican Dioceses of North Kigezi and Kinkiizi manage an integrated project for drinking water supply, hygiene education and sanitation improvements.
The project aims to help rural communities in the districts of Rukungiri and Kanungu, irrespective of creed or allegiance, to improve their quality of life by providing local access to good quality water services, hence encouraging social and economic development.
The project covers an area of some 2600 sq. kms. (about the size of Oxfordshire), with a population of about half a million people, 30 - 40% of whom still lack access to satisfactory and convenient water and sanitation services.

Our Vision is of satisfactory and convenient water supply and sanitation services for the whole of the population of Rukungiri and Kanungu by the year 2020.
A jerry can full of water weighs 20 kg., the same
as a single baggage allowance on most airliners!
