About this project

This is a small-scale voluntary Project Activity (VPA) “WADI - Innovation for Safe Water and Climate in Uganda”. It is developed by myclimate and implemented by the Austrian Social Enterprise HELIOZ GmbH together with the local partner Get Water Uganda. The project will supply 10,000 households in rural area of Buhemba Sub-County in Namayingo District, Uganda, with the UV indicator WADI, developed by HELIOZ GmbH, and additionally train the households in the application of Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS) using WADI and PET bottles. This method should give people the means to disinfect water and replace the method of boiling the water using non-renewable fuel sources on common three stone fires. Solar Water Disinfection with WADI is an environmentally friendly and affordable solution for water disinfection. In following a holistic approach, the project includes additional activities: (1) general water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) activities to improve living conditions at household level e.g. by constructing handwashing facilities and pit latrines or by conducting menstural hygiene trainings at schools. Additional environmental protection activities include awareness raising on proper waste management and environmental protection, establishing plastic collection groups as a mitigating measure for used and other PET bottles and as an additional income opportunity for women groups.
