BRIEF DISCRETION OF THE ORGANIZATION

The Empower And Care Organization provides physical and psychosocial support to marginalized and at-risk women, vulnerable children & orphans, youth and the elderly living in the Mukono district. EACO has a special focus on single mothers, widows, and women who are taking care of orphaned children. The organization seeks to empower women through economic development, which it achieves through education programs, vocational training, and the provision of health care. EACO also campaigns for Poverty, HIV/AIDS and human awareness and provides direct support to children who have been orphaned as a result of the Poverty, HIV/AIDS, Violence, Displacement War, or Conflict. In addition to providing orphans with school supplies, EACO has established and created income-generating opportunities for women, vulnerable children & orphans, youth and the elderly living in the Mukono district.for more information about this you can click on this link. http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/partners-in-africa/partners-in-uganda/eaco/eaco-blogs.html

LOCATION -EACO is located on Kayunga Road in Ggulu A Kitete, a rural village located within Mukono Town Council, Mukono County, Mukono District, Central Uganda Region. The community in which EACO is situated is largely rural, with most people making very low incomes through agricultural activities. Uganda ranks amongst the 20 poorest countries on the planet. The main source of employment in the area is subsistence level farming. Kindly receive the attached copy of our Map and copy of the certificate of registration.

“For the millions of Vulnerable Women Vulnerable children and Children across Uganda who have been Abused, Orphaned and made vulnerable by Poverty, HIV/AIDS AND WARS the promise of the future lies in the compassionate response of families and community members taking action on their behalf. Investing in Community-Based Organizations that strengthen the capacity of families to support Women and children in need is one of the most effective ways a donor can make a direct and real difference.

Project Title: Water and Sanitation Project

We Planned to sink twenty (20) deep water wells (boreholes) in 5 sub-counties in Mukono district and that is ( Mukono Central Division, Kyampisi Sub county, Ggoma Sub county, Nama Sub county and Nakisunga Sub county)

Drilling a bore hole takes one month. And it is planned that we can begin the project as soon as we receive the funds

In the beginning, it is planned that four (4) boreholes will be sunk in each sub-county. And these sub-counties were chosen because of the direct need that these people have in regards to water and sanitation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Given the present human resource constraints that the sector is facing both at the central and district local government levels, it is recommended that the sector identifies and focuses attention and support to some critical areas that affect the service delivery efficiency. For example Though mukono is surrounded by the lake and that is lake Victoria, some other parts which are not near the lake people in that area fetch water from the trench and water in these trenches is not safe reason being that this water is being used by both people and animals which leads to an out brake of diseases in this area. Water for Production: Data from mukono district shows that 83% of the facilities used for livestock are used for domestic purposes. The lack of option of other improved water sources forces the rural population to use untreated water from the water for production facilities for domestic purposes. In addition, 55% of all facilities in this district are not fully operational due to siltation. These people have high rates of malnourishment, low but increasing levels of school attendance (especially low amongst girls), high rates of disease (especially malaria), and numerous other problems linked to severe poverty and an exceptionally low standard of living. In many households, children (especially girls), are kept out of school so that they can perform this and other related chores. In Mukono, the creation of a borehole well will put a clean, sustainable source of water in close proximity to approximately 3,000 beneficiaries. The goal of this project is to put in borehole wells in five sub-counties. There are no sources of water in the vicinity. Villagers (especially women) must spend hours walking to locations miles away in order to fetch water for household needs more so when we experience massive droughts. It’s upon this background that EACO decided to move in to raise support and create awareness about this situation. Registered Charity No. MG/2006/10/294

Groundwater is the main water source in the area. Perennial surface water is only in the form of surface ground traditional water wells, rivers and swamps.

PROJECT FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

Project engineering details

Description and justification on why this engineering solution was selected: EACO is appealing for a borehole for this community, because if a deep water well borehole is drilled, its a cost effective solution to the problem, according to the earlier study about the village,, it has a rich underground water source, the team estimated that a bore hole can produce over 2,000 litres of water per hour, this can at least serve 800 households the entire day. Boreholes is maintained and well serviced, they are good and long lasting.

Inputs (specific validation rules) Two Geo-electrical Profiles; p110 (60m long) and p120 (80m long) were carried out to identify points of anomaly with characteristic low Apparent Resistivity. Two Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES 111 & 121) were carried out at points of major anomalies using a 300C SAS Terrameter in the Schlumberger configuration. Electrode spacing of AB/2 = 83m and MN of 10m were aimed at penetration depth of at least 60m. Resistivity anomalies at this depth of investigation are generally thought to have hydrogeological influences with regard to shallow well potential.

Distribution schemes: The site of VES 121 is recommended for drilling because it has a wider zone of potential with low Apparent Resistivity.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The community of Mukono, have agreed in the Water they created, to create a small fund, and this will be creating a monthly user fee of half a dollar every month from each house hold. This money will be used for maintenance and service the borehole.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES & GOALS Registered Charity No. MG/2006/10/294

Overall goals and objectives of intervention, Mukono community lays in a down hill area, so the down pours from up hills always carries lots of diseases into the open wells they already have, so having a borehole will not only provide safe clean water to the villagers but also save them from diseases.
