Healthy Village Program

In 2025, Wells of Life is committed to funding 25 Healthy Village Programs (HVPs) to create lasting change in rural Ugandan communities. Each HVP is an extensive 12-month initiative that provides in-depth training and education, ensuring the success and sustainability of our WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) program.

The Challenge:

A Need Beyond Clean Water While access to clean water is a major step forward, sanitation and hygiene remain critical issues in rural Uganda. Open defecation and poor hygiene practices contribute to preventable diseases like diarrhea, which claims countless lives—especially among children.

​

The Healthy Village Program aligns with the internationally recognized WASH initiative, addressing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene holistically. Through this program, communities are equipped to:

​

  • Eliminate open defecation.

  • Reduce preventable diseases.

  • Establish long-term hygiene practices.

COST: $8,000
