HEALTH & SAFE WATER
The post in this blog post will be focusing on one of the activities of Rural Health Care Foundation (RHCF) where i have agreat experience in providing clean safe water to the disadvantaged communities in the rural areas of Uganda most especially in mubende District, Rural Health Care Foundation (RHCF) is anon profit making and comunity based organisation. The organisation came up with an intetion of improving the Health status in rural areas in Uganda
According to the work carried out in Water, hygiene and sanitation we have realised that one of the big problems faced by the communities is that of getting a safe clean water, mostly women and children walk along distance to get safe clean water about 3 to 5 miles, we have been moblizing communities through sensitization, Training them in hygiene and sanitation,
water borne illineses in the rural areas like diarrhea kills more people than HIV/AIDs and Malaria, there are many organisation and even individuals striving within water, Hygiene and Sanitation sector to improve and provide safe clean water in the needy communities, i ve been working with Rural Health care foundation since 2003 in constructing and protecting water sources in communities,

There have been community participation during the construction of water sources, and the community used to provide food for masons, providing clays, sands and even bring hardcore stones to the site where the water source is constructed, all the community residents have to participate even children at the time when they are not at school
Rural Health care Foundation recieves help from Organisations based in Europe like AIDLINK, and Simavi big funders plus even individuals across all nations, because of the funding are limited the Organisation moblise locally available resources to help the needy, through uplifting thier helth standards by sensitization etc.
Now some communities recieves safe clean water in the communities they apreciate what is done for them in the communities, because there many communities without any source of clean water and the world is not aware i decided to call on all world communities on 8th-11th of July 2008 to an International Health and safe water for the world conference to be held in Mubende District you can see it at http://www.stopwdi.net/CleanWaterConference.htm or a facebook at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=4051529682
