In June, @Water_Compass launched a solar-powered water system in Mpumudde, Uganda. It serves 3,000 people and 2 schools. The project was co-funded with the Local Government, yet another example of our public-private partnership approach. #cleanwater #solarpower #partnership #SDG6

It was great to host our partners, @AquaforAll, at the solar-powered water system we built with their support in Mirambi, Uganda. Only through #collaboration and #partnership will we come close to achieving #SDG6.

Accessible and affordable water makes a big difference to businesses by reducing the costs of a critical resource. Watch our interview with a small business owner who saw her expenditure on water reduced by 80% after @Water_Compass built a new water system.

It's #WorldWaterDay! Water is life's most critical resource, but billions of people still lack access to reliable, clean water. This includes millions of students who go without water at school every day. Watch how @Water_Compass is changing that:

In 2023, Water Compass provided over 10 million liters of clean water to rural communities in Uganda via our solar-powered piped water systems. We look forward to building more water systems and supplying thousands more people with accessible and affordable clean water in 2024.

Today we had a team out to the site of our next solar-powered water system to develop the borehole we'll be using. We use compressed air to open up cracks in the geology to help water flow more easily into the borehole. We're starting construction later this week, so stay tuned!

It's been a very busy week for our team in Uganda. We're building two solar-powered water systems concurrently so we can have them working before the dry season starts in June. We should be launching one system next week and the other before the end of May. Stay tuned!
