In October 2006, we broke ground on our first well project, located in the small village of Wairasa in the Mayuge District of Uganda. The village has a 1200 person population and relies on sugar cane as a main industry source. The average walk to the nearest water source was 3.4 miles before we installed a well. The inscription on the tile reads “Kwagala” which is the Luganda word for “Love”.
