Macerudet - Water and Sanitation Project

Hello All!

Quick update. I've recently been accepted to volunteer for the Macerudet - Water & Sanitation Project. It is a program designed to increased the access of safe drinking water and improve the sanitation facilities in the Masulita province of Uganda. For the country of Uganda, there are only 72% of people that can access improved drinking water sources. Also, only 34% of people in Uganda use improved sanitation facilities ("Statistics," 2010). Unfortunately, isolated rural areas such as Masulita have even lower numbers. This lack of water and sanitation infrastructure has a major impact on the health of this population with higher risk of developing candidiasis and/or other waterborne illness. Personally, my role is to help research funding sources towards this project. If anyone is interested in helping with this search or would like more information you may contact me.
