Swarovski Waterschool Partner:
Bwindi Mgahinga Conservation Trust und Befürworter für Wasser und Umweltschutz

Die Swarovski Waterschool Uganda startete 2009 im Bwindi Impenetrable National Park im Bezirk Kanungu im Südwesten Ugandas. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bwindi Mgahinga Conservation Trust wurde das Projekt entwickelt, um mit Schülern und Haushalten zusammenzuarbeiten, um den Zugang zu sauberem Wasser und die Verfügbarkeit von Sanitäreinrichtungen zu verbessern. Außerdem wurde ein partizipativer Ansatz verfolgt, der darauf abzielt, das Wissen zu verbessern und die Verhaltensänderung hin zu einer nachhaltigen Wassernutzung für alle Begünstigten zu fördern.

In a region where environmental changes can make access to clean water particularly scarce, Swarovski Waterschool Uganda has commissioned the Banyara Gravity Flow Scheme, and supplied rainwater tanks and sanitary facilities for all schools in the program. Through the participation in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Clubs, students learn about sustainable water and effective sanitation practices. Swarovski Waterschool was also able to open a water supply system for 20 villages in the region and 20 water-boiling facilities at schools, as well as, construct of 40 ventilated, improved pit latrines for better sanitation and hygiene.
In 2015, Swarovski Waterschool Uganda teamed up with Advocates for Water Environment Conservation, to reach out to more schools and communities in a new region around Queen Elizabeth Park in an ever-expanding initiative.
