Water Shortage In Uganda

When my friends in the United States are enduring the freezing cold, in Uganda we are going through a very serious drought, I have not seen this kind of heat and dryness in Uganda in so many years, whether it is because of weather changes I have no idea.
It has been predicted that this drought  will continue till late May this year.
As some of you may know, most places dont have running water and wells are starting to run dry, people are walking more miles and lining up for hours to get some water.
This is also causing faming since most people get food from gardens which are drying up.
For some of us with big programs like school kids who need several hundreds of litres of water daily, this becomes a huge challenge to keep the institutions open, this also includes our building project where lots of water is needed daily. We need prayer for the rains to come in ASAP to help us not fail to keep the School open because of the huge expense. As you can see, we have been buying truck loads of water to help us serve the kids.
Thank God I had built 2 underground tanks to help harvest water from the roof when ever it rains they have helped us store  our water, since there is no rain and the tanks empty, the only choice we have is to buy water on trucks.

Please Pray
