Clean Water for Babies Uganda
In the heart of Uganda, a vibrant community is growing at the edge of hardship and hope. At Chikaya House, part of the Babies Uganda initiative, children who have faced abandonment, illness, or loss are finding safety, stability, and family.
But there was still one major thing missing: clean water.
In this short documentary, we take you to Chikaya House to meet the people and the projects transforming lives. You’ll hear from Maria, a Spanish volunteer and educator, from Tony and the Ugandan caretakers who run the orphanage, and from the team at WeDev Water, who stepped in to help address the critical lack of clean drinking water.
After inspecting the compound’s existing wells—which were poorly maintained and filled with debris—it became clear: the children needed a safer solution. Thanks to support from our partners at JOIN, a gravity membrane filter was installed to provide clean, bacteria-free water directly to the school and orphanage.
This wasn’t just about fixing pipes. It was about master planning. Measuring slope. Mapping the terrain. Reorganizing water storage across the compound. And most of all: working side-by-side with the local community to ensure long-term impact.
From stories of abandoned infants to tales of resilience and rebirth, this film is a moving reminder of what happens when cultures come together for a common purpose. It’s about more than clean water—it’s about dignity, identity, and building a future where children are no longer left behind.
