ByKim Watkins

Have you heard? We’re raising money to support the Bundibugyo Water Project, a ministry of Serge. Watch the video below to learn more about the need for clean water in Bundibugyo, Uganda:

Learn more about the water project in Bundibugyo.

People in Bundibugyo walk significant distances to collect water in plastic containers from public tapstands, protected and unprotected springs, and local streams. This responsibility generally falls to women and children. Fetching water takes a significant amount of time each day, and many of the water sources are unsafe. Unsafe drinking water contributes to Bundibugyo’s high infant mortality rate and significant waterborne illnesses.

The Bundibugyo water project seeks to share Christ through sharing clean water. Improved acess to clean water will reduce infant mortality and increase the quality of life in Bundibugyo.
