Deep in the heart of Uganda, the community of Bugembe, nestled within Jinja district, faced a harsh reality: many,  lacked access to clean water. For Aisha, a single mother, daily life revolved around collecting unsafe water, a constant worry for her family’s health. But hope arrived in the form of Droha Uganda.

Droha isn’t your typical aid organization. They wield a powerful tool: technology. By equipping communities with mobile apps, Droha empowers locals like those in Bugembe to solve their own challenges. In Aisha’s village, a water quality monitoring app transformed lives. Trained volunteers use the app to collect and analyze water samples, pinpointing areas with contamination. This data guides Droha in building wells or implementing purification systems, ensuring long-term solutions for Bugembe.

Droha’s impact goes far beyond water. Imagine classrooms in Bugembe buzzing with interactive lessons on tablets. This is a reality thanks to Droha’s digital learning tools. Rural entrepreneurs are also thriving with mobile marketplaces that connect them with customers, boosting the local economy of Jinja district.

The key to Droha’s success lies in local ownership. They don’t just deploy technology in Bugembe; they train the community to use it effectively. This fosters a sense of agency and empowers residents to drive their own development.

Droha’s story in Bugembe is more than just clean water and education. It’s a testament to the transformative power of technology in the hands of those who need it most. As Aisha says, “The app gave us a voice in our own future.”
