By supporting AMREF--Africa Medical and Research Foundation--LWR was part building this water reservoir which now offers a safe water source for the 6000 people in Kakiinzi. Families pay 25 cents a month to have access to the water. It is not unlimited access, they may still have to "go to the pond" for some of their water needs.
