Supporting Zinunula Primary School with Stainless Steel Water Bottles and Tumblers.
Zinunula Primary School is located in Kilwanyi LC1 Village in Luwero, Uganda. Children walk 2 kilometers one way to a crowded borehole and miss class. The burden of cooking lunch, cleaning, and keeping good hygiene practices is heavy and there is typically no drinking water or water for handwashing available, though they try. Having a sustainable water source on site would change everything for Zinunula and the surrounding community. About 1,000 people can benefit from a new water source, with the main beneficiaries being 530 people at the school.
How do Customized Water Bottles help Students in Uganda?
10% of all Purchases go directly to building Clean Water Access for Zinunula Primary School so students don't have to walk multiple kilometers to suport their basic health.

NAME: NAKANDI EVA
AGE: 14
GRADE: PRIMARY SEVEN
She said she wants clean water at school because it will save them from drinking contaminated water and they will have enough water for washing hands after using the toilet. She is also excited the school will be preparing their porridge (lunch) in time.
Her life will change after getting water because it's safe and will not disturb her stomach anymore to make her miss lessons and she will stop moving long distances to fetch water.
“When we get the borehole, I will tell my fellow learners to pump the borehole gently to prevent breakdowns because we are so lucky.”.
NAME: KALUNGI EMMANUEL
AGE: 16
GRADE: PRIMARY SEVEN
“I want clean water in my school because it will save us from getting diseases like diarrhea, typhoid which is caused from taking contaminated water. Clean water in school will save us time because we have been missing morning and evening lessons to go and fetch water from a source which is 2km away from school.”
“When we get clean water in school, we will stop falling sick from drinking contaminated water, will have enough water for cleaning our latrines (toilets) regularly. We have only been sweeping and not washing due to lack of water. Also, we will have enough water for washing our hands after using the latrine and we will not miss classes anymore!”
