Ariamaoi Village

Country

Uganda

Project Type

Water

People impacted

3,788

Location

In the Nabilatuk district of Uganda, Ariamaoi Village is home to 3,788 residents who face numerous hardships due to their reliance on unsafe water. To access water, villagers must dig into the riverbed and wait for the sand to settle. This arduous process exposes them to a multitude of dangers and challenges. The residents of Ariamaoi Village face extensive risks while fetching water, including encounters with snakes, wild animals, and thieves. Women and girls are particularly vulnerable to crowding and rape. The water sources are heavily contaminated, shared with wildlife, and expose the community to waterborne illnesses such as typhoid, diarrhea, brucellosis, cholera, and skin rashes. Digging too deep can cause holes to collapse, posing additional physical dangers. Moreover, the lack of proper sanitation and open defecation exacerbates the contamination of their water sources. Carrying heavy jerrycans over long distances further strains the community, leading to physical exhaustion and additional health issues such as stomach pain and severe diarrhea.

Water

People impacted

3,360

Location

In Chabwela-Nyalungwe Village, located in the Zomba district of Malawi, 3,360 people struggle daily to access clean water. Women and girls walk long distances—often an hour or more—only to reach an unsafe well that is deep, risky to use, and filled with murky water shared with frogs and snakes. Families face strain as the time spent fetching water leaves little room for other responsibilities. Some women must travel even further because the nearest well is too far away. Snakes are often spotted near the water source, adding to the danger. The community is desperate for a safe and reliable water source—one that will bring security, dignity, and better health to their daily lives.
