A group of smiling children in school uniforms hold books and school supplies outside a building with a yellow wall. Two adults in orange shirts stand behind them, also smiling, as if theyve stepped into a world away. The mood is cheerful and lively.

Providing Fresh Water and Sustainable Food A World Away

ByKerr Design Build

There is a tremendous need in Uganda for many things.

Doug Kerr has a couple of friends there working on upgrading the living conditions in the impoverished Wanga Parish in eastern Uganda.

The area did not have a school nor a medical clinic nor even a sustainable source of fresh water. Food is scarce as well.

All of these things are being remedied. Medicine is now available as well as a rudimentary school for children. Crops are being planted.

Kerr Construction is sponsoring the building of a freshwater system for drinking water and the planting of avocado trees and cassava for additional food in the region.
