SLOCA is One of The Few Voluntary not for Profit Making Organization Partnering

The organization has so far mobilized and helped at least every member within the eastern region. The majorities of these are either in subsidiary farming or involved in micro and small-scale business activities.

To a great extent many are dealing in survival activities which are characteristics of informal sector operations. They include small holder farming, Animal farming keeping, cattle keeping, Poultry rearing as chicken, rabbit farming, market vendors, brick making, tailoring, and handcrafts to mention but a few and not at a professional level.

As development partners, non-governmental organizations are proving to be more effective at grass roots where government hands cannot satisfy/ reach. SLOCA is one of the few voluntary not for profit making organization partnering with grass roots organizations/local leaders based in the Eastern Uganda offering food, medical and nutritional services, goats rearing meat, solar system services, clean water, to the rural communities as well as helping them to facilitate their social, spiritual, Educational and economic well-being.

Provision of Clean Water Supply.

Africa faces huge challenges with multiple issues that adversely affect public health. One major challenge is the ability for both rural and urban Africans to access a clean water supply. According to the WHO (2006), only 59% of the world’s population had access to adequate sanitation systems, and efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goal, which is aiming for 75% by the year 2015, will fall short by nearly half a billion people.

 

The situation of access to clean water and sanitation in rural Africa is even more dismal than the previous statistics imply. The WHO (2006) stated that, in 2004, only 16% of people in sub-Saharan Africa had access to drinking water through a household connection (an indoor tap or a tap in the yard). Not only is there poor access to readily accessible drinking water, even when water is available in these areas, there are risks of contamination due to several factors. When wells are built and water sanitation facilities are developed, they are improperly maintained to due to limited financial resources.

 

SLOCA is therefore committed to providing clean water to the communities through construction of clean water sources and renovating the existing ones without asking money from community people.

Before the people in communities used to walk long distances or even find unclean waters from swamps and other places. The implications of lack of clean water and access to adequate sanitation are widespread. Young children die from dehydration and malnutrition, results of suffering from diarrheal illnesses that could be prevented by clean water and good hygiene (Metwally, Ibrahim, Saad, & Abu El-Ela, 2006).
