[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 32659, member: 636"] Life has changed for women across Karamoja, Uganda. They once walked miles for dirty water full of animal waste. These days, Israeli solar technology pumps clean water from deep underground into massive tanks. The system serves about 3,000 people, with each family receiving around 600 liters daily. Innovation Africa brought this life-changing tech to the dry region where water problems caused serious health issues. Health improved dramatically after the water arrived. People stopped suffering from cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, and skin rashes. Animals also benefit since they have separate water points instead of sharing contaminated sources with humans. Education saw amazing changes because children previously missed school when they lacked water for cleaning themselves. Teacher Mugide Ajala noticed more students attending classes regularly since the project started. School boarding sections expanded from housing just a few boys to sheltering 250 students, including 100 girls. Solar power lets students study longer during the evenings. Girls especially benefit as boarding keeps them safe from early marriage pressures. The water also helps families grow vegetables, fighting malnutrition that once killed young children. Communities maintain everything themselves after receiving training, creating job opportunities for locals who learn repair skills. [/QUOTE]
