Swimming for Clean Water in Uganda

Claudia Smith is raising money for Bakiga Community Project UK

Swimming for Clean Water in Uganda

We support the work of Bakiga Community Project (NGO) to provide clean water to rural communities in South West Uganda. We build springs and community tanks and to date have helped over 135,000 people to access cleaner and safer water.

Story

This September and October, I’m taking on a swimming challenge to raise money for Bakiga Community Project, a charity supporting communities in Uganda. https://bakigalodge.org/index.php/water-project/

For every £100 raised it will enable a spring to be built, which will serve around 300 people.

I’ll be swimming at Mercers Lake, completing three 400-metre loops twice a week throughout September and October. That’s around 22km of open-water swimming over the two months.

I’m raising money to support Bakiga Community Project’s work helping communities access clean, safe water — something that can make an enormous difference to people’s health and everyday lives.

I may even add a little fun to some of my swims by wearing a mermaid swimsuit! 🧜‍♀️

I’d be incredibly grateful for any donation, however small. Every contribution will help support the charity’s work and make all those loops worthwhile!

Thank you so much for supporting me and Bakiga Community Project. ❤️
