Water and sanitation are not only crucial for sustaining life and ensuring good health, but they are also essential for upholding human dignity, promoting empowerment, and fostering prosperity. Access to clean water and proper sanitation is a fundamental right for every individual, regardless of age or any other form of discrimination.

However, in Uganda, the lack of adequate sanitation facilities, poor hygiene practices, and unequal access to safe drinking water have resulted in numerous children falling ill, facing risks of gender-based violence, and even losing their lives. To address these pressing challenges, a strategic and comprehensive approach is required to establish a sustainable water availability system that can meet the urgent needs of vulnerable populations already burdened by other hardships.
By increasing access to clean water, Zumar Foundation aims to improve the overall quality of life for communities, with particular emphasis on enhancing education, alleviating hunger, promoting health, and ensuring safety.

Since its inception, Zumar Foundation has made significant efforts to address these issues by drilling over 20 artesian water sources powered by solar systems and developing more than 500 water shallows in Uganda.
