The rural population of Muwanga in kiboga district Uganda draws their water from unprotected springs or swamps located from 300 to 600 meters (328 to 656 yards) from the villages or from hand-dug wells, locally known as (bidiba). The (bidiba) are primitive wells with an average depth of about six meters and with a diameter about the size of a large truck tire and uncovered at the top. The water collected from swamps (bidiba) is used for bathing, washing clothes, cooking and drinking, also shared, by cows, goats, hens and dogs Unfortunately, the shared use of swamps, (bidiba),springs for washing laundry, bathing and cooking is unsanitary and promotes a number of health problems. According to 2021 clinical data/information obtained from mama Tendo who owns a local clinic here in Kigoma Village most of the sick patients she treats suffer from diarrhea, typhoid, dysentery and intestinal stomach aches.

The WishWall Foundation under the leadership of Simonetta Lein, is funding Muwanga Development Association a local organisation to establish a modern Well to provide safe-clean water for the People of Kiboga in Uganda. The president of Muwanga Development Association said, “the local people here have contracted diseases from these dirty water sources for many years, but now friends from The WishWall Foundation have done them good”. A BIG THANK YOU TO DIRECTOR SIMONETTA AND HER PARTNERS FOR MAKING OUR WISH COME TRUE.
