What we do
Water Projects
We provide equal access to WASH in rural communities and deprived urban areas in Uganda.
EAU tackles overlapping inequalities relating to WASH: gender, health, education and the environment.
We train young leaders to become local WASH ambassadors and set up WASH committees.
Pit Latrines
We build a high quality Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine made sustainably from earth blocks.
This will provide essential sanitation facilities for up to 1,000 school.
This method has a significantly lower carbon impact compared to standard kiln-fired bricks
Skills and Education
Our team runs WASH workshops in schools, women’s groups and community centres.
We teach practical skills such as making liquid soap, bar soap, shampoo and reusable sanitary pads.
EAU leads Menstrual Hygiene Management sessions in schools and community groups.
