The Blossoms sustainability project is aimed at providing clean and safe water to communities using solar powered water pumps which are environmentally friendly and cheap to maintain. A source of energy to pump water is also a notable problem in developing countries like Uganda. The cost of running diesel to meet up with the water demand of 45,935,046 population of Uganda as of 2024 will be so expensive. The use of renewable energy sources as an alternative method of steady water supply at low cost in developing countries should be our utmost desire.A large number of rural communities in most parts of Uganda lack access to clean water yet the level of solar energy utilization is still very low in Uganda. Traditional models of mechanisms for water supply are non-feasible for sustainability and efficiency, since they require fossil fuels. It is here that solar water pumps present a feasible alternative for guaranteeing sustained delivery of clean water while pursuing environmental sustainability.>
The blossoms of hope foundation sustainability project is an extension of our climate activism project except this particular project has introduced innovation, training , diversification and modernization, intended to tackle dangers of climate change and also provide clean water to the rural communities around Uganda. The most severe areas in need of water are northern regions of Uganda which have a total of 16 districts and a total population of 8,513,720 people equivalent to 18.5% of Uganda’s population. These include districts like Karamoja, Moyo, Gulu , Arua, Adjumani , Apac and many more.Blossoms of Hope Foundation is a registered local Non-government Organization, non-political, non-religious, working with both local and international partners championing climate activism , and community development in Uganda .The ultimate objectives of blossoms sustainability project are
- To provide a solution that is sustainable, renewable energy for clean water access through solar water pumps.
- Reducing reliance on non-renewable energy resources will reduce carbon emission, hence reducing operational costs.
- To increase access to safe drinking water that is clean in underserved areas for better health and well-being.
- To enable the local communities by training them on how to maintain and manage the solar water pump systems.
The proposed duration for this project is 3 years involving installing solar water pumps in all the 246 sub counties in the northern region of Uganda.The targeted beneficiaries to this project are the 3.96 million people in the northern regions who have totally no access to clean water and the conservation of the environment. The total project cost is projected at 21,000,000 USD
