The people in rural Uganda lack basic needs (e.g., access to improved water supplies and sanitation facilities). Water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and malaria have kept people from working at their full potential and children from attending school. Lack of work and education has led to decreased productivity in farmer’s fields and ignorance, respectively. The members of Rural Agency for Sustainable Development (RASD), a non-governmental organization in rural Uganda, have recognized the needs in their community. It is their vision to train local citizen in such matters as water treatment, sanitation, proper hygiene, and improved agricultural practices to improve the quality of life for citizens. RASD partnered with Engineers Without Borders at the University of California, Davis (EWB-Davis) to help develop and implement sustainable point – of – use (POU) water treatment and sanitation systems. Four POU water treatment systems (i.e., clay filter pot (Filtron), solar disinfection (SODIS), chlorine treatment (WaterGuard), and colloidal silver (SilverDyne)) were tested and implemented at RASD. Two sanitation systems (i.e. Urine-Diversion toilet and Unreinforced Concrete Dome slab toilet) were implemented at RASD. Education and cultural acceptance were essential factors in determining the sustainability of the systems. Water and sanitation seminars were held at RASD to educate the public. Surveys were conducted to obtain cultural opinions.
