Located in the Lira District and in Amach Sub-County of northern Uganda, Agali Primary School has 683 pupils; 399 boys and 286 girls. The well was completed in April 2008.
Before the well, their only source of water was a shallow, hand dug well which became contaminated. Parasitic worms were present in the water so the local authorities asked the community not to use it. This proved difficult and impossible to enforce. The only other water source was a nearby-unprotected spring, which was worse than the hand dug well.
The children from the Agali Primary School urgently needed a safe, uncontaminated source of clean water and thanks to one individual donor they now have one.
