Comic Con with Nathan & Alan
This community in Uganda received a drilled well. This well was constructed by a professional team of drillers that reached water deep underground. To instill a strong sense of ownership, the community was also part of the planning and building process. Before this well was constructed, this community spent hours collecting dirty and unsafe water. Now they have improved access to clean water, sanitation and a water committee trained in promoting best hygiene practices.
