About | Equal Aqua Uganda

We are a team of engineers, artists, accountants, musicians, administrators and charity workers who came together to improve water equality

We are based in Uganda and the UK, and built on a diversity of opinion and religion. Our guiding principle is that the UG team creates the vision, policy and programme, and the UK team helps to make this a reality
