Activity 2

Uganda/kenya clean water project- since 2008, wine to water has partnered with samaritan's purse uk, doing many different water and sanitation programs through a local ugandan ngo called connect africa. Connect africa operates four community resource centers in uganda (migadde, kigumba, opit, and attiak) and two in kenya(buisa and kebwezi). Our biggest program is manufacturing and installing bio-sand water filters made of concrete, gravel, and media sand for the 38% of the country's population that does not have access to clean water. Wine to water funded 448 bio-sand filters in 2012, providing clean water to 3,534 ugandans. We also funded a new brick-making machine that enabled us to build three (1,500 liter) rainwater harvest tanks. An estimated 300 people now have access to water from these large tanks. Each tank is made of specialized soil bricks and is attached to gutters on larger community structures. The third major program we have funded in east africa is the repairing of broken wells and training locals on proper maintenance. A total of ten wells were repaired in 2012 with 2,800 beneficiaries. Hygiene promotion was carried out in all of our programs. Additional funding was used for truck repairs, tires, tools, adn two new motorcyles needed to keep programs running. The remaining funding was spend on vehicle running costs, administrative costs, and monitoring/evaluations.

Activity 3

Cambodia- relief and development assistance program- since 2008, wine to water has partnered with a local community based organization in phnom penh, cambodia called kone kmeng. Wine to water completely funds all of kone kmeng's relief and development assistance (rda) program which includes supporting local staff salaries, local materials, transportation and program administration. In cambodia, nearly 60% of the population lives without clean water and sanitation. Most of the work is focused in the rural villages of the svay rieng and prey veng provinces. There are four aspects to our work in cambodia: drilling shallow wells, building latrines, providing ceramic water filters, and offering community training on sanitation and hygiene. In 2012, 121 wells were drilled giving 1,916 people access to clean water. In addition, 120 latrines were built for 1,028 beneficiaries. Gps locations, pictures, and data are taken for each well and latrine. To further combat contaminated water, 400 ceramic water filters were given to positively affect 2,759 cambodians. Community sanitation workshops reached 1,012 people and over half of all the beneficiaries of the rda program are children. Finally, our partners hosted a weekly radio program on sanitation and hygiene, with 34,848 listeners and 242 call-ins during 2012.
