Story
THE EMMAUS PROJECT
Working together to promote environmental and social justice
We are not prepared to live in a world where children either have to walk several miles to collect drinking water or suffer illness and time off school because the water they have is unclean.
In the Emmaus Project, we have set ourselves the task of providing water for the children of 23 schools in the Masaka district of South West Uganda to meet their WASH needs; for drinking, cleaning, cooking and the irrigation of their tree nurseries. We are doing this one school at a time and, with the help of family, friends and businesses we aim to break the cycle of poverty in Masaka.
We are asking for your help, one school at a time. Our current project is to put 4 x 20,000 litre water harvesting tanks in the Lubanda Islamic school as a gesture of solidarity with Moslem brothers and sisters. We need to raise £12,000 to meet Lubanda’s water needs.
Our Football Tournament on June 7th sees several boys and staff playing football continuously for the entire day, joined by pupils from every teaching group in St Edward’s. Our ‘Walk for Water’ on July 13th will see the whole school walking across the low hills around our school.

1 year agoOn the morning of Thursday, 13th July, almost the entire St Edward’s School community set off an 8½ mile hike across the open meadows and ridges to the north of the St Edward’s site. This walk was done to help raise money to put 4 x 20,000-litre water tanks in the Lubanda Islamic School in Uganda, a clear demonstration of solidarity with brothers and sisters in a school where children must walk 2.3 kilometres to draw water from a muddy stream. We thank you for your continued support of such a worthy cause.
