Dirty water which was purified.

RHCF is so gratetful for the purifier donation from New Life International together with the STOP WDI crew. This is the only water purifier in the whole of Mubende district. Water purification exercises has been done on a weekly basis in the villages of Nabikakala and Ntugamo parishes and in about 8 points where there are water ponds and according to our survey, these areas report a high complaint on water related illnesses. The measurement of the purifier performance will be done after a year because Mubende district is so Big that we cannot penetrate every village and the rate at which water borne diarrheal illiness are reduced can not be noticed in just a short while. We have designed a questionaire to assess the prevalence of water borne diarrheal illness in our community that we will also use after are year to compare what will be present.

During water purification in the village, more than 500 litres purified in one
day.

Challenges / Problems.

• Some low community have wellcomed the purification of water but they don't trust in the water purifier. They give comment, that "this white man's machine will kill us" So There is more need of sensitization in water Hygiene & Sanitation.
• The Long distances at which the purifier must be taken and some of the volunteers do not want to go far.

Way Forward we need more big tanks and pipes to put them on the high hills so that we can purifiy it there after supplying it to the community.
