Many of the villages have older shallow wells or boreholes that are broken or clogged with silt. They cannot afford the expense to rehabilitate and maintain the boreholes. This borehole was not properly constructed as the drainage runs uphill.

"Everything must have a beginning"
Children at an orphanage in Entebbe, Uganda. There are so many children here it is incredible; there are orphans everywhere. The people take them in and it is not unusual to see families struggling with 8-10 children. We talked to a woman yesterday who has taken in twelve children. She said, "sometimes I feel sad that I cannot do more, but everything must have a beginning". We have decided to use that as our personal reminder to guide our actions here as we try to help.
