Lifewater: Soccer & WASH! 4:30 min version
For many years, the people of northern Uganda suffered from violent conflicts between rebel groups and government forces. Now, with peace prevailing at long last, communities are focusing on rebuilding. Decades of war have destroyed basic infrastructures, disrupted traditional farming practices, and led to crippling dependence on emergency food aid. Emotional wounds from the violence have left a people struggling to hold on to hope and a government willing but unable to meet basic needs.

Lifewater's initiative in Ogur and Abako implements innovative strategies to meet the unique challenges of the region. One of these strategies is engaging and empowering war-weary young men through soccer training and tournaments. As they participate in the soccer program, these individuals gradually become WASH promoters and agents of change for healthy behaviors in their communities. For a glimpse into this innovative program, please take a moment to watch WASH & Soccer!
