GWA member in Uganda wins Award for Best Performing NGO 2009

Katosi Women Development Trust (KWDT) won the Award for Best performing NGO in the Water and Sanitation sector 2008/2009 from the Ministry of Water and Environment in Uganda. The Mission of KWDT is to empower rural peasant women to initiate and self-manage their economic, social, and political development processes.

The GWA Network is proud of our member-partner's achievement, and would like to offer hearty congratulations to all the KWDT women on achieving this wonderful milestone in their development. We wish them a lot more progress and recognition of their hard work in the years to come.

In the words of the KWDT Coordinator "this award means vindication and a national recognition of our ideals and efforts for the last 13 years to increase access to safe water and promote hygiene and sanitation among the rural poor women in Mukono district. What has added value to this prize is that over 200 women are actively putting into practice the sustainable technologies and approaches to improve their livelihoods".
