Project Activities:
Ryan's Well shares a special history with northern Uganda. Ryan's very first well at Angolo Primary School was completed near the town of Lira. Over 10 years later, this well provides for hundreds of children attending Angolo.
Since that time, Ryan's Well has supported an array of programs to build wells, provide health and hygiene training and continue to build knowledge and capacity of our local partners. Continuing from this history and most recently Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects with our partners at Rural Development Foundation in Lira, we will focus on the following activities to provide sustainable access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for over 4000 people:
- Construction of 1 new deep well at a cost* of $18,500 per well
- Construction of 5 new shallow wells at a cost* of $6,500 per well
- Rehabilitation of 1 deep well at a cost* of $6,100 per well
- Construction of 4 multi-stance ventilated improved pit - VIP latrines at a cost* of $6,100 per latrine
