Ensuring Clean Water & Environmental Resilience
UgIFT strengthens local governments by funding safe water access and environmental stewardship, delivering new or repaired water infrastructure to benefit 750,000 Ugandans, while supporting watershed protection and anti‑deforestation efforts in underserved areas
UgIFT’s model ensures lasting impact by:
- Building on broad institutional structures, not parallel systems.
- Tying technical monitoring tools to funding for accountability.
- Promoting local ownership, districts take the lead in managing and sustaining water infrastructure and ecosystems.
An estimated 750,000 people have gained access to clean, reliable water through these investments
