They tend to live further uphill, leaving the lower fields, which are more fertile as a result of soil erosion, for cultivation. The distances they have to walk to collect water are therefore great, in some places up to 2km, and a return trip can take more than \u00a02 \u00a0hours on steep slopes.<\/p>\n<p>This not only creates a burden to the women and children who are the main water carriers, but takes time which could otherwise be used in more productive activities like cultivation, which is the main source of livelihood. Children also occasionally report to school late or spend alternate mornings off school, due to the fact that they have to collect water for their households first.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of all this, the quantities of water available to use are insufficient to ensure good hygiene practices like hand washing at critical times, good domestic and personal hygiene, and for drinking This causes a high prevalence of water related diseases like diarrhea, intestinal worms, typhoid and scabies, among others. In addition, women suffer back pain and ill-health, and cannot therefore go about their daily duties as would be required. The performance of children at school is poor as they do not have time to concentrate on their studies and time for play.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst this situation, there are sufficient quantities of water for most of the year (save for a three-month dry season running from June to August), which can be collected from the roofs of the houses, with gutters, into medium sized water tanks (4,000 liters).<\/p>\n<h3>What we do:<\/h3>\n<p>The Itambira Island Seeds of Hope project aims to improve this situation by supporting households to construct rainwater harvesting tanks to collect rainwater from their roof tops.<\/p>\n<h3>How this is done:<\/h3>\n<p>The beneficiary households are expected to make a contribution of locally available materials plus all the skilled and unskilled labour. At least one member of a household is trained by skilled personnel in how to construct the tank, after which the household will be supported with non-local materials like cement, reinforcements and gutters and expected to build the tank for themselves. This will instill a sense of ownership and reduce the costs of construction considerably.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-60aldx-81b9a112082acac85aad1b38ae117193 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lnq2n0xm-c3599b22ae7a99d2e58c45bb1b1d6711\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lnq2n0xm-c3599b22ae7a99d2e58c45bb1b1d6711 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lnq2n0xm-c3599b22ae7a99d2e58c45bb1b1d6711 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lnq2n0xm-c3599b22ae7a99d2e58c45bb1b1d6711 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1212 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1212 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/water-tank-community-project.jpeg\" alt='water tank community project' title='water tank community project'  height=\"450\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/water-tank-community-project.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/water-tank-community-project-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-f1c518e9ff58e869f80c8f093487abc9 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-d0af9dae08ee337d302d80f30f44182e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d0af9dae08ee337d302d80f30f44182e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d0af9dae08ee337d302d80f30f44182e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-d0af9dae08ee337d302d80f30f44182e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1245 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1245 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Water-tank-construction-uganda.jpg\" alt='Water tank construction uganda' title='Water tank construction uganda'  height=\"450\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Water-tank-construction-uganda.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bunyonyilake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Water-tank-construction-uganda-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-8cixh-7793b07a426a84b91379546786082b64 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lnq2mca2-20416ee932c211a6a90c9a7235d848bb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Outcomes:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced distance to water points hence reduced burden<\/li>\n<li>Increased water consumption at household level hence improved health<\/li>\n<li>Time for water hauling saved for other activities<\/li>\n<li>Increased school attendance hence child performance<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Costs:<\/h3>\n<p>The total non-local cost of putting up a tank is GBP 300 Including training.
