Bwindi Mgahinga Conservation Trust y defensores de la conservación del agua y el medio ambiente

Swarovski Waterschool Uganda comenzó en 2009 alrededor del Parque Nacional Impenetrable de Bwindi en el distrito de Kanungu en el suroeste de Uganda. En colaboración con Bwindi Mgahinga Conservation Trust, el proyecto fue diseñado para trabajar con estudiantes y familias a fin de mejorar el acceso a agua potable y la disponibilidad de instalaciones de saneamiento. También empleó un enfoque participativo dirigido a mejorar el conocimiento y promover el cambio de comportamiento hacia el uso sostenible del agua para todos los beneficiarios.

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.
