Uganda Water Crisis Relief: Building Hope Today
In the heart of Uganda, a story of transformation unfolds, led by Missionpoint. Our project isn't just about constructing water wells; it's a beacon of hope, changing lives in communities grappling with the Uganda Water Crisis.

The Challenge: Water Scarcity and Educational Barriers

Water – the essence of life – remains a distant dream for many in Uganda. Families trek miles daily for a single jug of water, often contaminated. This dire need inspired Missionpoint to embark on a life-altering mission: drilling sustainable water wells, directly addressing the Clean Water Crisis in Uganda.

Check out our website at https://www.aqua4life.org

Parallel to water scarcity is the challenge of education. Countless children, thirsting for knowledge, find their paths hindered by the lack of basic infrastructure. Recognizing this, our mission extends to building schools, nurturing minds, and laying foundations for a brighter future.

The Mission: Wells of Hope and Halls of Learning

Each water well we drill is a step towards quenching the thirst of a community. It's more than providing access to safe drinking water in Uganda; it's about restoring health, dignity, and opportunity.

The schools we build are more than structures. They are sanctuaries of learning where the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers will emerge. By focusing on Education and Water Access in Uganda, we're not just changing individual lives; we're transforming communities.

The Impact: Beyond Water and Walls

Stories of personal impact mark our journey. Each well brings a sparkle of health to children's eyes, and each classroom echoes with the laughter of learning.

Once bound by the endless quest for water, women now have time to dream, learn, and earn.

Your Role: Be the Change with Us

Join us on this transformative journey. Your support for Water Well Funding in Uganda and School Building Initiatives builds not just wells and walls; it builds futures.

Every donation, big or small, turns the page to a new chapter in someone's life in Uganda.

Amigos Internacionales is looking forward to helping support and strengthens the disadvantaged children of the rural area of Ogul village, Uganda. We aim to build a proposed Kindergarten/Early Childhood Development Centre to enable them to access low-cost quality education.

Expansion of the school to provide primary education to the learners will further improve the quality of basic education by increasing equitable access, quality, and sustainability of primary education that is inclusive and innovative. The expansion of the school to accommodate higher grades will lead to adolescent development as the older children will have access to information, life skills, and essential services, to reduce their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, violence, and poverty. But for this, we need your help!

The vision behind the drive:

According to UNICEF, Uganda, like many Sub-Saharan African countries, faces major challenges in providing quality and accessible basic education to children and adolescents. 1 out of every 10 children between 3 and 5 years of age is enrolled in pre-primary education. Only 1 in 4 children who start primary school makes it to secondary school. Whereas only less than 40% of students are literate at the end of primary school. Most public schools in the Gulu area just like the rest of the country face huge challenges due to their lack of facilities. This makes it far harder for the children to learn, and for the teachers to teach to a reasonable standard

Who is Amigos Internacionales?

Amigos Internacionales, Inc. is an NGO founded in 1967 with a mission to provide emergency services and disaster relief help throughout the world. It continues to strive to meet basic human needs in crisis situations and exists to do what God has called us to do which is to meet human needs and share Jesus with others. As Amigos we cannot afford to have hundreds of children leave school without basic literacy and numeracy skills. This is why we are working with the community of Ogul Village in the Gulu area through Amigos to build an inclusive, relevant, and accessible education and keep the children learning like the majority of their counterparts in the city.

Our Goal:

Committed to fighting the effect of rising inflation on child education, Amigos is determined to leave no more children deprived of education just because they did not have potential resources. Our ultimate goal is to raise around $100,000 to buy a school in Gulu and expand it to include a secondary school and trade school opportunities so that these children can have enough resources to help build the desired life. We have purchased an additional 8 acres of cultivated land (including a Eucalyptus farm) to help provide economic lift projects for the impoverished community as well.

How will we utilize your contribution?

Your generosity will keep the program going and enable us to maximize our reach and help more people! With your donations, we will cover costs including construction, teachers’ salaries, supplies, stationery, etc. Your contributions can send someone to school and thus nurture a life. We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone.

Token of Appreciation for Potential Supporters:

By contributing you will also receive rewards from our organization including shout-outs for persons or organizations, merchandise as gifts with our logos, and therefore free advertising and positive public relations in the community. Thus it’s a win-win situation for both!

So step ahead to help make our world a better place one step at a time!

Clean Water for a Refugee
Water for Africa:

You can make a difference by partnering with Amigos Internacionales, Inc. to drill life-saving, life-changing deep water wells. At only $8,500 a well, we drill down 60-80 meters below the surface water that can be contaminated with runoff. This brings water free of waterborne pathogens and other issues like typhoid, diphtheria, and hepatitis.

You can be a part of changing a child's life for the better. Your giving will help us drill a water well in the village of Padibe in Northern Uganda. Clean, disease-free water wells save lives. We also build a school on this site to educate the villager's children! Donations give life and love to children in their greatest need.
