About this project

Uganda Safe Drinking Water Project VPA-1 aims provide safe drinking water to rural communities in the districts of Lyantonde and Kalungu. The project consists of the repair of damaged and defunct deep boreholes progressively potentially installing new boreholes/water production points. Boreholes may be dysfunctional e.g. due to a broken or removed pump or other broken parts. The project reserves an option to motorize some boreholes using solar pump in a case that this would reveal to be more favorable than only rehabilitating the hand-operated boreholes. The refurbishment of those boreholes reduces the need for households to boil water as a means of purification or consume unsafe water being the scenario prior to implementation of the project activity. The Project will be micro scale and the emission reductions achieved due to avoidance of fuel use for boiling water will be certified by the Gold Standard.
