Clean Water for Aler, Uganda: The Well You Helped Build Is Now Complete

Clean Water for Aler, Uganda — Your Support Made It Possible

Thanks to the generosity and participation of our community at the Running & Walking Well 5K on June 7th, we’re overjoyed to share that a brand-new well has been completed in Aler, Uganda!

This well is more than a project—it’s a lifeline for families who have long relied on distant, unsafe sources for daily water needs.

What This Well Provides

• Daily Output: 2,500–3,000 gallons of clean, safe water

• Population Served: Approximately 6,000 people across four villages

• Previous Challenge: Families walked 6–8 kilometers to reach water

• Build Time: Completed in just five days

• Sustainability: A local maintenance committee has been established to ensure care and long-term use

Bishop Alfred Ayer of the Assemblies of God Uganda shared this message of thanks:

“God has saved us from the long walk for water. We are jubilating!”

Why This Matters

Clean water doesn’t just hydrate—it transforms entire communities. With reliable access close to home, families experience:

• Improved health and hygiene

• More time for work, education, and family care

• Increased safety for women and children who no longer need to walk long distances

Thank You

To every runner, donor, sponsor, and volunteer—your efforts made this possible. Your support will continue to ripple through this community for years to come.
