Increasing community access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services using the available resources.
Objectives

- Promote greater community awareness about water and sanitation issues, problems and their solutions.
Clean & safe water for drinking is a great need God’s people have and they are entitled to improved health but unfortunately, they are suffering due to lack of access to clean water, knowledge, inability to implement the required skill on cleanliness and awareness by local leaders among others. Eventually this has led to increasing health hazards to community members thus losing hope to life
It is therefore on this sad matter Catalyst ministries Uganda exists to take an initiative to bring positive change to the status quo that local communities have lived. Causing health awareness and spreading love of sharing instills hope to the desperate hence changing their mindset and improving their standards of living.
Clean Water Means
Time: It takes an average of 4-5 hours to find a water source, daily. (3-4 miles).
With a well steps from home, people will gain back so much time.
Education: With parents focused on income, children are often tasked with gathering water, which means less time for school. With clean water steps from home, children can attend school without interruption.
Opportunity: With their new found time, families can focus on generating extra income, spending time together, or attending school.
Empowerment: Empower communities with the tools they need to create a sustainable society. Empower moms with healthy kids, empower children with time for education.
We have developed 3 keys to assure the sustainability of the water wells we drill.
We have developed 3 keys to assure the sustainability of the water wells we drill.
- Permanent Materials:
We begin by using more permanent materials such as stainless steel instead of cast iron or PVC for deep wells. - Longevity + Maintenance:
We have contracted with an Area Service Provider (ASP) to oversee the long-term life of each well using a system of preventative maintenance to replace parts before they break down.
However, if a well does break down it is repaired within 48 hours 80% of the time (and no more than 5 days, 100% of the time). - Routine Inspections:
We assess every well we have drilled annually, with many of our wells being inspected several times each year.
