Staff at Ugandan primary school with water jugs

The rainwater collection system that Merton Williams students and staff sponsored this spring has been completed and is transforming the lives of people in Uganda. Because of Merton Williams' support, 485 students and teachers now have access to clean, safe drinking water from the new rainwater collection system at their school. 

That means almost 500 students and teachers now have on-site access to clean, safe water right at their school.

Merton Williams Middle School did that!

"We're so grateful that you chose to partner with the Ugandan Water Project to give water and give life to these schools for years to come," said Jess Alinaitwe, director of community partnerships for Ugandan Water Project.
