"We used to drink water straight from a swamp down the way - it was our only option. Because of SODIS, we no longer have to drink contaminated water. Our lives have changed so much - it is hard to believe!"

Patrick, Busia District, Uganda

"Because of my family’s rainwater collection tank, I’m not spending my time collecting water. Instead, I have started a poultry farm and beekeeping business."

Jackson, Father of Four

"When the borehole is built and water is close-by, our lives will be better. Our children will be able to bathe daily and wash their school uniforms. They will be able to go to school because they are not sick. There will be more time to cook so children won't go hungry, and there will be more water to irrigate our vegetable gardens and give to our animals."

Agnes, Resident of Petta in Uganda

"My children are now studying well because they are healthy. I realized that good health creates time for engaging in income generating activities."

Wacibo Jackline, Resident of Ombakali in Uganda

“Our family no longer experiences diarrhea and we are able to give quality time for agriculture. Because

of that I have bought two goats and a sheep. My family's improved sanitation practices have meant they are sick far less, which has enabled me to save money which would have been used for medication."

Abeka Saidi, Resident of Ombakali in Uganda
