Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from Xylem Watermark, our project in Uganda now has a brand-new water harvesting system!
This is a total game changer for our children at the Place of Safety and a fantastic way to make good use of those intense rainy seasons, to provide clean water for the community. It's been a joy to watch the progress of this work being carried out, knowing it would have never been possible without this generous donation.
