Clean Water and Sanitation
Access to clean water and safe sanitation is fundamental to good health and thriving communities. SaltPeter Trust is committed to providing sustainable water and sanitation solutions that improve daily life for families across our partner communities.
To date, we have funded and managed the installation of four boreholes and several EcoSan latrine blocks, benefiting members of our farming cooperatives as well as neighbouring communities. Each borehole is overseen by a local management committee, which collects a small monthly contribution from around 60 households to fund routine maintenance and ensure the water supply remains reliable for years to come.
At Malera in Bukedea District, SaltPeter Trust partnered with our sister charity, EFOD, to deliver a solar-powered water system. This project includes a solar-driven pump and storage tanks, providing safe drinking water for approximately 4,000 people and supporting around 10,000 cattle. The system is now managed and maintained by SaltPeter Trust’s local partners in Kachumbala.
We believe that every project should be sustainable. While we encourage beneficiaries to contribute towards ongoing maintenance costs, achieving consistent local funding remains a challenge. Even so, we remain committed to maintaining the infrastructure we build, ensuring that communities continue to benefit from reliable access to clean water and improved sanitation.
