Water is Life, Let's conserve it.

Our Objective

To help reduce illness and death, eradicate poverty, and improve socio-economic development.

ESSEI focuses on the issues of access to clean water, improved sanitation, and proper hygiene for the people in our target areas. We ensure that the programs that we create under this thematic area are sustainable and adaptive to climate change.

Solid Waste Management

ESSEI’s efforts to enhance the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions in the communities we serve must include solid waste management and drainage initiatives. We can prevent the development of disease-carrying mosquitos and vermin, which can contribute to the spread of illnesses like malaria, dengue fever, and cholera, by minimizing standing water and rubbish. The majority of cholera outbreaks in Uganda have occurred in Kampala’s slum settlements and in 2015, the district also saw a significant typhoid outbreak. Malnutrition, malaria, and pneumonia are other slum-related health issues that primarily affect children. Evidence currently available indicates that insufficient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) has a significant impact on the spread of diarrhoea illnesses. To make communities healthier, cleaner, and more livable, our anticipated solid waste management and drainage solutions concentrate on enhancing the waste collection, disposal, and drainage systems. Improving waste collection systems is one of the main components of our solid waste management initiatives. Waste collection is intermittent or nonexistent in many of the communities, which causes garbage to pile up and cause water to stagnate.

ESSEI is making efforts and innovations to improve garbage collection systems and availability of waste containers, and the adoption of waste segregation methods.

By collaborating closely with local authorities and community members, we can lessen the amount of rubbish and standing water in neighborhoods by enhancing the waste collection, which can aid in limiting the spread of infectious diseases.

Our Organization focuses on enhancing drainage systems to avoid the buildup of standing water in addition to enhancing trash collecting and disposal systems. Poor drainage systems can cause standing water to build up in many of the communities we serve, which can act as a breeding ground for vermin and mosquitoes that spread diseases. To improve drainage systems, we collaborate closely with local government officials and members of the community. This includes building new drainage channels, maintaining existing drainage systems, and putting in place community-based drainage management systems. We can lessen the quantity of standing water in neighborhoods by improving drainage systems, which can aid in halting the spread of diseases.
