EDITOR’S NOTE
WATER IS THE MOTHER OF THE VINE.
They say a drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain
the universe to us.
Water is vital for all forms of life. Although it provides no calories or organic
nutrients, water plays an important role in our world. It is the centre piece
of all life or I would like to think it is.

Globally, unsafe drinking water, poor access to appropriate sanitation
facilities and inadequate hand washing contribute significantly to
childhood and adulthood illness and deaths and that is why this is one of
the areas of focus for Rotary international-the desire to improve water and
sanitation as a way of promoting health living among various communities.
Water is one of the most important resources of our lives, actually the
most important resource. It is the voice of being, in fact, water is life- I
know this is a cliché or sounds like one but when the wells, taps, boreholes
or even the water dispensers in your offices run dry, that’s when you know
the true value and worth of water.
Water is vital for all forms of life. Although it provides no
calories or organic nutrients, water plays an important
role in our world. It is the centre piece of all life.
Around 2.1 billion people across the world lack access to safe and readily
available water and everyday over 800 children around the world die
from preventable diseases caused by poor water and lack of sanitation.
The question is, what are you doing about it?. Let us collaborate with
communities around us that are in dire need of the resource in whatever
way or manner possible and be the hand that provides and improves their
water, sanitation and lives even if the said improvement is gradual. The
Rotaract club of Kololo has been able to contribute in this area through its
project in Kasenke Slum, Water and sanitation activities and campaigns,
promoting awareness in this area as well as through The “Kololo for
Bunyonyi” project in Kabale District, This is a great step and there is still a
lot that will be done in furtherance of this initiative.
Let us empower communities to effectively manage springs, wells and
any other water infrastructure, promote collective environmental care and
management and increase the proportion of people with improved basic
sanitation and hygiene.
LET US BE THE INSPIRATION!
