Over 80% of Ugandans still lack access to safe drinking water.

Help us bring Change

We are an international team developing practical and creative solutions for safe water and sanitation where they’re needed most.

Our international initiative brings together young minds from engineering, design, and film to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation in Uganda. We combine practical approaches with fresh student ideas to create sustainable solutions for a more just future.

How we bring change

“One of the most inspiring things to me is how much we can do to improve water quality with very little means. Creating simple, clear bacteria-free water is a huge step for a lot of areas!”
