Adonai now faces a grave challenge from a contaminated borehole. Even the short-term (and expensive) solution of trucking water from Kampala hasn’t alleviated the problems of waterborne diseases like Typhoid and Dysentery. Adonai is in the middle of yet another outbreak of Typhoid since the tainted borehole was first discovered some months ago.

The good news is that Adonai has partnered with US based Water Missions International on a plan to create a campus wide water system. The plan will ensure clean, safe drinking water to each of the key parts of campus. It will provide better access and alleviate the need for children to carry jerry cans across campus and to boil the water before drinking. The system has the added advantage of providing another source of clean drinking water to the community.

The challenge now is raising $50,000 to cover the costs of the new system!  As Bruce Karmazin, US Friends of Adonai President, noted, “This is more than we’ve ever raised before, but it’s also critical to the health and safety of the children and staff. Hopefully, Pastor Luswata’s visit to the US will help us impress on our friends the importance of the project!” It’s fast and secure to contribute here.
