AUGUST 2025
Elected to UWASNET Board of Directors
💧We’re honored to share that the Ugandan Water Project has been elected to the eleven-member Board of Directors for the Uganda Water & Sanitation Network (UWASNET). UWASNET is often the first point of consultation for the Ministry of Water and Environment when engaging civil organizations. We’ll continue to chair the Good Governance working group; an influential space for shaping national conversations around transparency and accountability. We're proud to have our water source maintenance service, AquaTrust, on the cover of the latest UWASNET bi-annual report.

Abby Ruth - Program Coordinator - Rochester, NY

“Do not set yourself on fire in order to keep others warm.”
Golf Tournament
Despite the heat, the golf tournament was a wonderful success, rooted in connection. We brought our community together, shared meaningful time with friends old and new, and raised a net of $26,309.65. These proceeds will forward the mission, with an emphasis on household connections. We are grateful for all who took part and made an impact!
