[box] In Wakiso (VAD), 84% of water sources are still functional. Where water source is functional, 100% of Water User Committees still exist and are working. Reasons for non-functioning are: theft of pumps (response: police investigations opened) and population growth creating additional pressure and leading pumps to breakdown (response: advocacy committees (successfully) lobbying local government to repair and drill additional water sources)[/box]

[box] Average incomes of farmers is 180,000 ugx (approx. €40) per month. In 2014, a survey of farmers in same area showed average incomes of 60,000 ugx (€17) per month. Incomes have therefore tripled amongst trained farmers. Those with the highest incomes are from groups where they have developed savings and loan schemes. This is a key learning that can be built into future programming[/box]

These statistics are provided by Kajiado County for the entire county. Aidlink and GCN have a presence in 126/353 public primary schools in the County (being 36% of PPS there). Working among the most remote and excluded communities in the county, there is no doubt about our contribution to overall improvements.
