Uganda’s first-ever WASH Impact and Influence Awards lit up Kampala on Friday night, honoring changemakers who have turned the struggle for clean water, sanitation, and hygiene into a story of innovation and hope. From Amref Health Africa and Rotary Uganda to Makerere University’s Antimicrobial Resistance Club, the winners embodied a quiet revolution—one where engineers, students, and community leaders are rewriting what progress looks like, one drop at a time.

The WASH Awards celebrate Uganda’s unsung heroes in clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Nominations close August 15.

Over 30 million Ugandans still lack access to safe sanitation. But hope is rising. The Uganda Water and Sanitation Network (UWASNET), in partnership with key ministries, has unveiled national WASH Awards to spotlight those turning the tide—through tech, journalism, research, and community action.
