Water crosses the border for 22,000 people in western Uganda
Every day, thousands of people cross a bridge over the Lamia River north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, either to trade, to visit family or to seek refuge from armed conflict. Now, with the Busunga-Sindila water supply system in Bundibugyo, Uganda, both local communities and migrants and refugees can now access safe drinking water at designated locations along the supply network.
Uganda hosts nearly two million refugees and more than 40,000 asylum seekers from over 34 countries, according to the Office of the Prime Minister. The district of Bundibugyo, in the west of the country, has a long tradition of welcoming people fleeing violence, particularly from neighboring Congo.
