About WaterAid

We are supporting the Ugandan Government's commitment to better water, toilets and hygiene for all. Uganda, the ‘Pearl of Africa’, is a small country with big attractions and even bigger aspirations. Here you’ll find the continent’s tallest mountain range and largest lake, the source of the world’s longest river, and 39 million people from more than 50 tribes. Following historic conflicts, thirty years of stability have produced a steadily growing economy – yet almost four in ten Ugandans live on less than £1 a day. The Government wants to change this and make it a middle-income country as soon as 2020.
