Water Infrastructure

Deep Well with Solar Conversion

Following a successful fundraising campaign, WE Care drilled a deep community well to bring safe drinking water closer to home. Two years later, the well was upgraded with solar power, replacing its reliance on inconsistent electricity. Today, the system provides a sustainable and energy-efficient water source for hundreds of residents, improving public health, reducing waterborne illnesses, and freeing time for school and work

Rainwater Reservoir Construction

In Mahero, where farming and livestock care are essential parts of daily life, access to water is a critical concern. Before WE Care’s involvement, villagers walked two kilometers to the Yala River to water their animals. While the terrain is relatively flat, the distance and time required posed a daily burden, especially during dry seasons when river levels drop and demand increases

To solve this challenge, we constructed a rainwater reservoir dedicated to livestock and small-scale farming use. The reservoir captures and stores rainwater during the wet season, creating a dependable and convenient source of water right within the community. This project has helped reduce strain on families, improve animal health, and support more consistent agricultural activity

School-Based Water Systems

To improve sanitation and ensure access to clean water in schools, WE Care installed a 10,000-liter rainwater storage tank and completed a new latrine facility for girls at Mahero High School. These improvements have had a direct impact on school attendance, especially for female students, and have enhanced hygiene conditions for all. These efforts are part of WE Care’s broader commitment to making schools safe and healthy environments
