“Before I was nobody. IsraAID made me somebody.”

Over the past few years, IsraAID Uganda has trained over 130 students in the Acholiland area to repair, manage, and drill boreholes and handpumps. The WaMTech (Water Management Technician) course doesn’t just mean water for the community, it also means a new livelihood opportunity to help the students support themselves and their families.
